Hello Peter Steiner,

Responding  to  your  article  on Wed, 11 Oct 2000 at 22:17:59 GMT +0200
(which was 12/10/2000 3:17 GMT +0700 my Local Time) :

MSG>>> Is  there  a  way  to  change  the  order of TO and From on a new
MSG>>> message?

MSG>>> I would prefer to see the person to whom I am sending the message
MSG>>> come first and my information come second?

TF>> It's somewhere in the RFC's, I think. A message starts with "From".

AFAIK RFC-822 not state about the order, just about header field.
Some  headers  created by MUA and others by MTA, and the moral said : do
not   change   original  data",  perhaps  other MUA or application still
keep/refer RFC Standard.
