Hi!

My setup: 
Linux 2.0.34, RH 5.1, tcsh 6.06, qmail 1.03

Problem/Query: (see below for reference)

1. Why is the 'From: ' line not changed when the return-path and from
lines show the changed address?

2. Why are the mysterious quotes added in the address for 'From: '
line? What could be the reason that those quotes are only added around
'48]'?  Is there any reason that the backslash be added before [ or ]?

3. Is there anything I can do to avoid the quotes in the address part?

Thanks 

Sameer.
