- Smail3.1, until recently, has not been able to From generate lines such
- as this. Either you have a modified version of smail3, or elm generated
- the From line itself. The former case is certainly possible, since
- there were quite a few unofficial 3.1.19 variants that floated around.
- However, even if you were running an unofficial variant, it is doubtful
- that your config file could generate such a From line. Most likely the
- culprit is elm. I suggest you check your elm compilation-time and run-
- time configuration files.
