Hmmmmm ... I did not know that procmail is also escaping fake from headers.
Why that ? Why does it matter for procmail if a mail is being delivered or
forwarded/piped ?
It's because procmail is a mail processor rather than a general text
processor, and 'From ' has a special meaning to mailbox format files.
If it is being forwarded/piped then procmail isn't delivering it to a
mailbox format file and so doesn't need to 'correct' the format for you.
The alternative is to have 'Content-Length:' headers in every mail
message.
Is there any switch I can use to prevent procmail from escaping From´s ?
I don't believe so, no. At least, not for messages that do not have a
Content-Length: header. This is discussed a bit in the procmail man
page, I think.
Am I supposed to change the delivery lines to look like this ?:
:0:
| cat >> $YYYY.$MM
I believe so, if you need the 'From' lines in the body to not be
escaped.
Cheers,
Martin
