That's not the server, it's the client, and it's a consequence of the fact that lines beginning "From " (note the space) delimit email messages in the most common Unix mailbox format, also used by Netscape and Eudora. The alternative is to mark the message Quoted-Printable and to use "=46rom". -- He made the Legislature meet at one-horse John Cowan tank-towns out in the alfalfa belt, so that jcowan@reutershealth.com hardly nobody could get there and most of http://www.reutershealth.com the leaders would stay home and let him go http://www.ccil.org/~cowan to work and do things as he pleased. --Mencken, _Declaration of Independence_
