It occurs to me that given the advent of MIME, \n^A^A^A^A\n is, as far as I can tell, valid content for a 7bit or 8bit message part. I'll admit that it is unlikely (certainly far less likely than a \nFrom), but I don't think it's as out-of-band as you think it is. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
