I guess the why was fully explained in the rest of the thread.
There is more to this bug. Try exporting the message you have
composed (not the one you got back from the list) to a Unix mailbox
file and then reimport it. The message will be cut just before this
line starting with "From ", because TB! failed to prepend this line
with a '>'. Of course TB! misses stripping these '>' not only when
receiving mail, but when importing from Unix mailboxes too :-(
This bug was reported more than a month ago and i wonder if it will
ever be fixed. You almost never hear a comment from Ritlabs when you
submit a bug. Sometimes you read in an interview (the one from Leif)
that there is no remedy for a bug without losing compatibility (as
with the threading bugs, the problem seems to be the message base
format). The annoying received time bugs probably fall in the same
category, but nobody ever told that.
I we were told, we could stop trying to reproduce old bugs when a
new beta or release comes out, because we'd know to wait until
TB2... :-(
But I'm pretty sure that this "From " bug could be fixed without
touching the message base format. Now lets ask the oracle from
Delphi if it will be fixed in TB 1.40...

Peter (using TB! 1.39 S/N BB892117 under NT 4.0 SP4)
