Most likely all the "new" messages start with the word "From". It turns out that the only portable way to parse Unix mailboxes into messages is to treat an empty line followed by a line starting with the word "From" as a message separator. For that reason, most Unix mailers "stuff" that word whenever encountered in the body by prefixing it with ">". If your mail system doesn't do that, you get the effect you've seen. I believe that there's an option to mmarch to fix up this problem (or maybe a separate utlity). ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
