BTW, the real mutt-users address is above. What is this gbnet thing,
anyway?

% hi

% has anyone encountered a problem with dtmail
% 'mailbox/rfc822' attachments? i find that because these
Yep.
% contain the mbox 'from' line, mutt interprets them as
More specifically, they contain an unescaped '^From ' line (yes, including
the space) because dtmail likes to use and honor the Content-Length:
header and not escape the ^From_ headers. Not a bad idea, as far as I
can understand it, as long as everyone else uses that convention, too.
Of course, people (and software) have been escaping ^From_ headers since
the computer equivalent of THE BEGINNING OF TIME, but, hey, maybe it's
time for a change. Yeah, right.
Well, I recall that there is a flag in dtmail that lets you turn off this
silly behavior (no doubt stated as "crippling" dtmail, but that's their
opinion), so if these are your messages, you're fine. Other than that,
formail is probably your best bet aside from a perl script to go thru
and change ^From_ to ^>From_ when not in *real* headers.
% separate emails, and they appear in my inbox rather than as
% attachments to the original mail.
Yep.
%
% any idea how to stop this from happening?
Well, you could always dump any messages from anyone who uses dtmail ;-)
%
% fyi: mutt 1.0i and 1.1.9i.
