  I'd think sprint would take care of the missing SUBJECT 
 header and Messege
  ID! Isn't that an RFC requirement? Or just common email curtesy?
 
 By RFC2822 section 3.6, the only required header fields are the date
 and originator address.  The Subject field is optional.  The 
 Message-ID
 SHOULD be present (section 3.6.4) and is in common practice added by
 the first real mail server the message hits if the client software
 did not put one on (RFC 2821 section 6.3 Compensating for
 Irregularities).
 
 Producing a message containing neither Subject nor Message-ID headers
 is not polite, but is not technically broken behaviour.

Thanks all. A ninja gave me a nice meta to deal with the FP. Wanted to know
the RFC before I went ahead and asked Sprint to fix. I guess I won't bother.

I suspect that Sprint is doing this to save on text messaging characters
from Cell Phones.

I beleive the message ID is RFC, the subject is just curtesy..


 SprintPCS Phone email causes this:

 They are sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED], where N is a number
 for phone.

 I'd think sprint would take care of the missing SUBJECT header and Messege
