Due to a mixup in the sendmail configuration on my machine, messages
from local users were being delivered with an extra From_ header at the
top, as in:
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Feb 27 18:25:08 1999
>From nathant Sat Feb 27 18:25:08 1999
Received: (from nathant@localhost)
[...]
I think I've fixed the sendmail configuration, but I've noticed that
mutt doesn't handle extra line very well, at least when Bouncing the
message. When it sees the ">From" line, it breaks the headers, and thus
the orginal Subject, From, etc. are lost when the bounced message
arrives and new Date: and From: lines are generated.
(The headers of the bounce look like:
From nathant Wed Mar 17 11:45:01 1999
Received: (from nathant@localhost)
by shire.ontko.com (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian/GNU) id LAA05476
for nathant; Wed, 17 Mar 1999 11:45:01 -0500
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 11:45:01 -0500

)
Two questions:
* is this a bug? ELM (2.4ME+ PL48 (25))seems to be able to bounce
these messages correctly, though Pine (v3.96) does not.
* any "mutt" workaround? (If not, I'll just remove the extra lines
from the mailbox with an editor.)
I'm using Mutt 0.95.3i (1999-02-12) on Debian 2.0.
Thanks.
