That book is obviously wrong about that. From_ is added upon delivery to an
mbox or by procmail's -f option, and for the very reasons we discussed before,
the delivering system cannot reliably know the time and date of the original
dispatch.
Well, I not think that Bryan Costales & Eric Allman(!) made
an error like this but, I'll not surpris if I had misunderstud..
However, I adopted the -f- flag.
