Bug #571 "mutt should not replicate ">From " headers while bounding",
has a patch attached.
Will that patch get in?
Although these lines are not generated by mutt, I would strongly
suggest
to prevent it, because by boucing a mail the MUA should ensure
that the message header is according to the specification.
A ">From " line is not, because of the spaces before a colon.
Because this has such serious consequences (totally unreadable mail)
when a MTA interpretes this line as the beginning of the body (not
unreasonable), I think Mutt should prevent sending this invalid
headerline.
Because the other patch to the bugreport is not really correct IMHO
(because the fieldnames are not limited to alphanumeric chars, RFC2822
3.6.8), I propose another one.
This patch also appends Resent-* to the header, instead of
prepending it. The Resent-Message-Id is however still appended,
because I could not find it; is it added by the MTA instead of by
Mutt?
