I searched through lots of RFCs once and didn't reach a clear
conclusion about this, but AFAICT the MTA is correct *not* to quote
the From as long as the mail is a MIME mail with correct
Content-Length header. Unfortunately, that leads to problems with
non-MIME-aware programs such as my uni's POP3 daemon...

BTW, how does the BTS send mails?

Cheers,
