Then simply changing the flags on the first recipe offered to make it a
header rather than body filter, and adjusting the condition accordingly
should work:
:0fhw
* ^>From +
| sed s/>From/X-Escaped-From:/
That doesn't explain why your formail invocation isn't working and
whether it could be made to work, but it should get the job done. It
also doesn't address whether something else is broken. I don't think
these should be escaped in the headers. I think they should be removed.
But that's another issue, probably for another forum, and definitely
for someone who knows more than I do.
