Can we revisit this? I wound up editing the code, so that the from in the
header is used if it's there, with the envelope-from being a backup if
not. This lets the message appear correctly in the end users' email
clients without the need of hand editing the message each time something is
resent.
Here's the code I'm using:
# original
# ($howF, $mailfrom) = ($1,$2)
# if ($message =~
/\n(X-ASSP-Envelope-From:)[^\<]*?<?($EmailAdrRe\@$EmailDomainRe)>?\s*\r?\n/sio);
# ($howF, $mailfrom) = ($1,$2)
# if (! $mailfrom && $message =~
/\n(from:)[^\<]*?<?($EmailAdrRe\@$EmailDomainRe)>?\s*\r?\n/sio);
# modified - use from in the header first, if not there, then use envelope
from
# allows user to see from in the email client as it would have appeared
with the original message
($howF, $mailfrom) = ($1,$2)
if ($message =~
/\n(from:)[^\<]*?<?($EmailAdrRe\@$EmailDomainRe)>?\s*\r?\n/sio);
($howF, $mailfrom) = ($1,$2)
if (! $mailfrom && $message =~
/\n(X-ASSP-Envelope-From:)[^\<]*?<?($EmailAdrRe\@$EmailDomainRe)>?\s*\r?\n/sio);
Is there a downside to doing it this way instead? I see no upside of doing
it the way it's originally coded, but you know I'm all ears...
