RE: [fetchmail]Where's my From line gone?

From: Michael Abbott <michael(_at_)araneidae(_dot_)co(_dot_)uk>

A little while ago, due to a nasty impedance mis-match between sendmail
and my ISP's POP server, I tried forwarding mail directly to procmail
using the line
        mda /usr/local/bin/procmail
but found that mail seemed to get corrupted somehow (I didn't look
terribly closely at the time, having exceeded my patience with fetchmail
at that point).

More recently, I've tried simply concatenating my mail to a file, and it's
clear what's missing: there are no 'From ' lines on any of the messages!

Version of fetchmail? Sample headers for one of these emails (keeping in mind that 'From ' isn't an SMTP header, but sometimes added by the LDA - none of my emails have them).


 Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.
      Reply-to mangled to assist those who don't read the above.
