Further investigation has revealed that somewhere in my mail setup I am
losing my "From" line. After many hours I am at a loss as to where to look
from here. I have a sendmail hub which is accessed by fetchmail to postfix
on my workstation and then procmail sorts it for mutt to read. all the
setups are as minimal as I can get them. the mail is getting to
/var/log/mail/rob but looks like this:

bar.


The missing "From" line is stuffing up mutt of course.
Can you give me any ideas as to which program could be causing this and if
possible, a solution?
