procmail LDA - adding >From

2002-05-14 20:54:37
Hi,

I'm using procmail-3.22 (from ports) on freebsd 4.5-stable.  I set it
up as the local delivery agent for sendmail as such:

FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/local/bin/procmail')

It works great for the most part.  But when local users send me mail,
it looks like procmail adds an extra header:

From generic  Tue May 14 10:41:08 2002

It actually goes through procmail twice.  I'm using tmda
(tmda.sourceforge.net), and at the end of the run, it pops it through
procmail again for local delivery.  That's why, below, the extra
header looks like:

From generic  Tue May 14 10:41:08 2002

(two greater-than's)

If I disable tmda, it shows up as

From generic  Tue May 14 10:41:08 2002

(one greater-than).

This extra header only seems to be added when a local user sends me a
message with Pine.  It isn't added with mutt or TWIG (web-based) or
such things as mail jon < file.txt

Is this a known problem?  Any way to work around it?  If I was
confusing or you need more info, please let me know.

Thanks,


-Jon

Below is the message as it appears to me in mutt.
