Er.. truncated "From " to "rom " is an old bug.
Yes. I stumbled over it so long ago I forgot the details..
This appears to be a new problem.
I am delivering email from fetchmail into procmail, and procmail is
placing
the mail into files in my home directory.
Since I installed Red Hat 8.0, some mailbox files are getting
corrupted: the "^From " separator is getting lost. For example:
That I've never seen. Are you sure you aren't accidently stripping it
out?
Well I worked out what was contributing to it. Here's the start of the
offending .procmailrc:
#:0 fhw
#| formail -R "References" "In-Reply-To"

:0fw
| spamassassin -P -D -L
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
/home/akpm/.nsmail-zip/spam
The missing "From" line was happening to every mailbox which was mentioned
before the spamassassin line. Moving the :0fw spamassassin rule to the top
of the file made the problem go away.
