Hi Mate,
I guess there are two issues here:
1. Should comp (and friends) scan for '\n\nFrom ' in the body of
outgoing messages and put a '>' in front of 'From ' when found?
(My patch does NOT provide a fix for this.)
2. Some email clients (like Sun's mailtool) are broken and will send
messages with '\n\nFrom ' in the body of the message anyway. IMHO,
nmh should be savvy enough to deal with this instead of generating
'BAD MSG' errors.
Using the 'Content-Length' header was the best way I knew how to do
this (aside from attempting to parse the 'From ' line itself.
Ironically, anyone using (n)mh to read my original message should have
seen the 'BAD MSG' error without even sending themselves a test message
(assuming some MTA didn't fix the '\n\nFrom ' in transit).
If you need me to send you a test message that will expose this bug, let
me know.
Also, I've now subscribed to the nmh-workers list so you don't have to
Cc: me anymore.
