It looks like the Eudora Japanese email readers for Macs sticks in an
X-Mailer header with an extra space before the colon.
For example
X-Sender: mdm(_at_)internet-tools(_dot_)com
X-Mailer : Macintosh Eudora Pro Version 3.1.1-J
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 13:16:40 +0900
To: formail-test(_at_)internet-tools(_dot_)com
From: mark david mcCreary <mdm(_at_)internet-tools(_dot_)com>
Subject: X-Mailer header has space in front of colon
this is the first line of the body of the message
This causes formail some troubles, resulting in a blank line being created
in the headers, thus some headers become part of the body of the message.
formail -I X- <above.test.email
Will insert a blank line from the first X-Sender header, and leave the
X-Mailer : header. I have tested this with both 3.13.1 and 3.11pre7
versions.
Can or should formail more gracefully handle this sort of data problem ?
Thanks
