Shane Curcuru commented on WHIMSY-216:
--------------------------------------
Does that matter? That is, why would we need to maintain the exact original
incoming message *in this location*?
The bigger question is legal process requirements: do we *need* an original
message of emails to secretary? If so, are we expecting the copy here on some
whimsy service to be the canonical long-term storage thereof, or wouldn't we
expect whatever mail archiving that infra does separately to be the best
long-term storage? (I.e., isn't mail sent to secretary@ already archived
somewhere else?)
Apologies if I'm not understanding where mails physically get stored and
manipulated, but in general we should try to keep the actual long-term archival
data outside of whimsy and in infra-land wherever possible.

>
> The deliver.rb script for the secretary mails does not preserve the exact
> format of the original mails.
> This is because the message.parse function removes the From line (not sure
> why) and fixes up any header lines that have LF instead of the standard CRLF.
> Whilst this is presumably necessary for further parsing to work correctly, it
> seems wrong to modify the original message data.
