System: rn version 4.1
Bug #: 6
Priority: HIGH
Subject: articles saved to mailbox start with "From: " instead of "From ".
Index: common.h
Description:
The format of MBOXSAVER causes articles saved in "mailbox" format
to start with a From line with a colon, which confuses mailers.
Repeat-By:
Save an article in mailbox format. If it starts with "From: " you
have the problem.
Fix: The solution is to delete the colons.
From rn, say "| patch -d DIR", where DIR is your rn source directory.
Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch <thisarticle". If you don't have
the patch program, apply the following by hand, or get patch.
