Well, the correct answer to that one would be to remove the "From " header, maybe rewriting it to Delivered-To:, I think. The "From " header is supposed to keep the envelope recipients, and should never be sent to any MUA, only to the MDA. But any rewriting must be done if, and only if "From " is the very first header, otherwise, the entire thing must be junked. It is very strange that users should get that header when downloading the message through the imap server. Was this one of M$ crappy ideas as always, or someone else botched up for a change, I wonder... -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
