But escaping "From " to ">From " should be done only by the program that writes to an mbox formatted file. See: http://qmail.org/qmail-manual-html/man5/mbox.html Looks like another thing that his MUA (header says X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook 11) is doing wrong. [Unless it is an artifact of the mailing list software, in which case I would apologize to the makers of said MUA. But if I had to bet, I would say it's the MUA's fault.] Filipe _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
