Hi,
I do not know for sure if I am pointing to the same header you mean ... but
let us see:
For example the original headers with the first From line that is missing
when forwarding:
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jul 11 06:01:46 2003
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[...]
Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2003 05:14:25 +0200 (MEST)
Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (automatisch erzeugte E-Mail)
looks like this after forwarding:
To: Bob Hoskins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Cc:
Bcc:
Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Ihre Rechnung Juni 2003 steht bereit.]
Reply-To:
----- Forwarded message from automatisch erzeugte E-Mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jul 11 06:01:46 2003

4.6. Mailbox Formats
Mutt supports reading and writing of four different mailbox formats:
mbox, MMDF, MH and Maildir. The mailbox type is autodetected, so

creating new mailboxes, Mutt uses the default specified with the
``$mbox_type'' variable.
mbox. This is the most widely used mailbox format for UNIX. All
messages are stored in a single file. Each message has a line of the
form:
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri, 11 Apr 1997 11:44:56 PST
to denote the start of a new message (this is often referred to as the
``From_'' line).
