Additional info.
It's not just header lines, but the entire mail message which has
carriage returns appended to it.
Actually, not quite the entire message. I'm attaching a sample email
message I just generated from this machine. Hmmm...OK, I'm going to do
one that's local-delivery only. 2nd try is the charm.
Ho! No carriage returns. Attached. Subjects:
- "Carriage return test": locally generated, smarthosted via ISP
- "Carriage return test -- local delivery": locally generated and
delivered.
Anyone who's good at header/email dissection care to comment on this and
let me know if my assessment appears to be correct: this is my ISP's
fault? Any idea on RFC 822/2822 specs on inclusion of carriage returns
in email linefeeds?
Any corrective procmail recipies or similar suggested?
Cheers.
