This might be old news, but it was new to me, so I thought I'd pass it
along for general information.
We have Windows NT systems on our network and the resulting Microsoft
Mail users. Since MS-Mail has a problem with correctly resolving the
original sender of Majordomo mailing list messages, we added message
"fronters" to identify the original sender and mailing list. However,
we soon discovered that messages that originated from MS-Mail to such
a Mj list (with fronters) and were subsequently received by MS-Mail
had trailing lines missing (the same number of lines as were added for
fronters...duh). The same message received elsewhere (e.g. Unix) was
complete, as were messages originating elsewhere.
I tracked the problem down to an Encoding header that specifies the
number of lines in the original message. Of course the solution was
simply to drop the header in resend. Here's my patch against 1.93:
--- resend 1995/08/23 17:45:48
