qmail-send translates all sequences of N LFs in the bounce message to one LFs and N-1 slashes in order to comply with QSBMF. Unfortunately, the result is quite ugly: the following text Description of the problem... more text... If you need help, contact... will be tranformed to: Description of the problem... more text... /If you need help, contact... I suggest to replace empty lines with lines consisting of a single space. Neither of the transformations is 1:1 but mine would at least preserve the visual appearance of the message. --Pavel Kankovsky aka Peak [ Boycott Microsoft--http://www.vcnet.com/bms ] "NSA GCHQ KGB CIA nuclear conspiration war weapon spy agent...
