That's strange. The manpages on my system have a slightly different
version of the above:
If there is no Content-Length: field or the -Y option has
been specified and procmail appends to regular mailfolders,
any lines in the body of the message that look like post-
marks are prepended with `>' (disarms bogus mailheaders).
The regular expression that is used to search for these
postmarks is:
`\nFrom '
If your MUAs don't understand Content-Length: headers, than procmail
should be invoked with the -Y flag. Note: the -Y flag only affectes
procmail's behavior when it's writing to regular mailfolders.
OK, my .forward is copied right from the man page(s):
"|IFS=' '&&p=/usr/home/wwgrol/bin/procmail&&test -f $p&&exec $p -Yf-||exit 75
#wwgrol"
and I see the -Y there (or is -Yf- a completely different thing?) But
mail that goes to $DEFAULT as well as anywhere else with a "\n\nFrom"
in it does not get the ">" protection and gets split by mailtool.
At present, I do NOT have a better choice than mailtool....
