Hi all,
experimenting mail filters and talking to Phil Bevan
some problems with email headers faced us:
1) Missing colon
> I had a problem when writting my email client sometimes the
> incoming message started
> "From "
> instead of
> "From:"
> (ie no colon ...)
> which caused import-mail to fail.
2) Huge "To:" or "Cc:" fields
> Havent had any problems with multiple recipients though ....
3) Splitted lines
> looks like import email doesnt like the first line which has been split up
with = signs.
>
> Received: from x400.icl.co.uk (umg1.x400.icl.co.uk [145.227.248.89]) by =
> wwmessd045.man23.icl.local with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail =
> Service Version 5.5.2653.13)
>
> If the equals signs are removed then import-email will work.
I want to report it via feedback but the proxy still isolates me,
so I hope someone at RT (Holger, Jeff, Carl!?) takes a look here.
Has anyone out there a patch/rewrote of import-email or some hint
to handle strange headers? No parse-ability, here... :(

In import-email I really miss something to import "real names"
from addresses, like:
[...]
From: "Gino Pilotino" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[...]
msgheader/from-real
== "Gino Pilotino"
actually "only":
msgheader/from
== [EMAIL PROTECTED]
