You can fix it in a different way that is backwards compatible with tools using any of the different mbox-ish formats: if a mail contains a line starting with `From `, then transcode to quoted-printable so you can store it as `=46rom `. (That is what mutt does.) Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
