Preserving FROM when forwarding

1997-04-17 10:35:00
Philip, Thanks for the suggestion...the log below shows a systax error on the 
FROM=`formail -rt -cTo:` line, though. The mail gets delivered, but this time it
is from ME again rather than the real originator (better than From: formail -rt 
-cTo I guess).

What could be wrong, now?

THANKS!!!
