It was notqmail..  Not touched in a few months.  Well.

I was thinking about that when i practically had to move away from
Sourceforge, since Unicode.org used it for many years, and i had
no rememberance of any issue (except seeing never seen From_ quoting
via space not >).  (Not that i remember any issues after their
switch to Mailman.)  I did not dare to go that route by then.

That must be your very personal Mailman config then, or?
Well, hmmm ..
I prefer people using Mail-Followup-To: instead of some ML
software modifying the address lists, they could as well just
avoid resending the mail!?!  Yes, i mean, well.
I really like looking into old archives and i hope what i see is
the real original thing, which i think is a value by itself.
But the world does not seem to cherish this.
A nice weekend!
