You're right! I didn't notice that before. But on your example it
didn't occur, since it only seems to occur if "from" is written
completely lower case (?).
I still don't really understand your explanation, why this is
done by The Bat! (What was the from exactly used for, so that that
line needs to be interpretated as a quoted line?)
Is there any possibility to avoid that quite annoying behaviour?
Best regards, Joerg
