Mutt may be a lesser piece of crap than most mailers, but it is still a
piece of crap. It screws up when "From:" is missing, and acts as if you
had send it.
I think it may be worse than that: I set my MTA up to add a default
From field to outgoing email, but it ended up applying to incoming mail
as well.
In which case it's not Mirko's fault at all. Mirko, I'm sorry I
jumped on you like that. Probably I should have realized something
screwy was going on and checked other possibilities first.
No problem. I'll try to explain what happened.
When first replying to Peter Easthope, I got distracted and mistakenly
sent him a personal email without Cc'ing debian-user.
After recognizing my mistake, I retrieved the email from my "sent" folder
and bounced it to debian-user.
Without going into the details of my email setup, the result was
that I sent a broken email without "From:" to the list.
Sorry for that, and for the resulting confusion.
I'll thouroughly investigate this message's "From:" header when I receive
it back from the list. :-)
Regards,
Mirko
