One variant of the Unix mailbox format uses /^From / to designate the start of messages and thus (destructively and stupidly) escapes lines in the body matching that with >. (Another uses Content-length headers.) This sort of thing is endemic to the net... you could try figuring out which mailer is doing that and try to convince it to use a different variant of mbox or switch to maildir (which may require switching from exim, I dunno), but it's just as likely that it's your ISP, the sender's system, or something like that. Really, people signing messags with /^From / in the body should be qp-escaping that anyway, because there's so much software out there which would break messages like that.... -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - In a variety of flavors! I fear explanations explanatory of things explained.
