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. 524c534 < # define MBOXSAVER "%X/mbox.saver %A %P %c %a %B %C \"%b\" \"From: %T %(%[posted]!=^$?%[posted]:%(%[date]=^\\(\\w*\\), \\(\\w*\\)-\\(\\w*\\)-\\(\\w*\\) \\([^ ]*\\)?%1 %3 %(%2=..?%2: %2) %5 19%4))\"" --- > # define MBOXSAVER "%X/mbox.saver %A %P %c %a %B %C \"%b\" \"From %T %(%[posted]!=^$?%[posted]:%(%[date]=^\\(\\w*\\), \\(\\w*\\)-\\(\\w*\\)-\\(\\w*\\) \\([^ ]*\\)?%1 %3 %(%2=..?%2: %2) %5 19%4:%[date]))\"" 527c537 < # define MBOXSAVER "%X/mbox.saver %A %P %c %a %B %C \"%b\" \"From: %T %[posted]\"" --- > # define MBOXSAVER "%X/mbox.saver %A %P %c %a %B %C \"%b\" \"From %T %[posted]\""
