Some subscribers to this mailing list received some 16
(incomprehensible) messages of tool(_at_)ecn(_dot_)nl(_dot_) The reason is that
two
messages to the mhonarc list (subject bug-report, from
burgers(_at_)ecn(_dot_)nl)
contained a mailbox with messages all from tool(_at_)ecn(_dot_)nl as attachment.
Achim Bohnet has the following explanation:
I guess their mail delivery is broken. Unix mbox format uses "From "
at the start of a line as the message seperator. I guess that these
guys use also mbox formats and that the system tools appended the our
message as is to it. So the mail reader thinks the got a lot of new
messages because there are many lines starting with from.
Achim gives the following advice to prevent this problem:
Now you know that you should encode mbox attachments to
prevent the hassle. But in principle it's not our fault.
Sorry for any inconveniences caused
