I'm with you, Andy!

I don't want any tool messing with the content of the mail.  It's a bad
idea.  It breaks signatures (I'm talking PGP, GNUPG, that sort).  And
it's ONLY necessary if you're foolish enough to allow your mail to be
stored into a mailbox file.  Us MH/nmh users don't have to put up with the
stupidity of that file format.

Use procmail to feed the mail to rcvstore and you'll never have the problem
of a body being mistaken for a header line to begin with.

Content-Length is evil.  "From munging" is only slightly less evil.
