[OpenSIPS-Devel] [OT] Re: [NEW] Virtual DB module

[Thomas Gelf]

Hey, that's curious: I never used MailMan, so not sure whether it is
it's own fault, or a bug in whatever software is responsible to generate
the web archive. My post has been truncated right before a sentence
starting with the magic word "From" at the beginning of the line.

So, at http://lists.opensips.org/pipermail/devel/2009-July/003781.html
there is missing the following part:

No one else ever got aware of this? Sure, "From" is used to split mbox
files - but IMO in that case the MDA should somehow "escape" lines
starting with "From" in your mail body...
