David, there are *two* seperate things here.

The line you are talking about 'From:' is an RFC822 header, yes.  It is 
supplied COMPLETELY by the client/MUA used to send the mail initially.

The line that I and Trish and Gerritt are talking about is the 'From ' 
line and it is the ENVELOPE SMTP transaction header.  It is created by ALL 
unix mailers and PREPENDED to the mail BEFORE that mail is delivered to 
any local mailbox, or pipe or handed off to anything other than another 
MTA.   THIS line is what is required for stored mails to be considered to 
be in Berkeley MBOX format.   This is what XMail is not adding to the mail 
before it hands it off to a local pipe.  This is solely an issue with the 
XMail MTA and not an issue with Listar/Ecartis.   You can fix this however 
you like, either by fixing your MTA (which I strongly recommend), or by 
adding something inbetween your MTA and Ecartis which adds this line 
correctly.

Is this clear now?
