- I have a customer who has noticed that MX (3.1C) modifies the From: lines of
- his messages, e.g.,
-
- From: foo@bar.baz (Name)
-
- turns into:
-
- From: <foo@bar.baz>
- His specific complaint is that information is being lost in the translation,
- the "(Name)" goes away. I haven't poured over the RFCs enough to know if this
- sort of rewriting is reasonable, but why would MX be rewriting the From:
- portion of the envelope? The other question is: should MX be preserving the
- rest of the information in the line instead of just dropping it?
