I'm just agreeing with you that the above seems backwards. The archiver 'stringifies' the message both for the .mbox file and for the subsequent archiving in the pipermail archive. The conversion of an email message object to a string will always escape any "From_" lines in the body with ">". The subsequent archiver should not consider any ">From_" body lines as message separators. I have no idea what's going on in the above scenario. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
