Re: No headers on wiz mail

Yep, we have the same problem, with a version (modified here) of the
Berkeley/UCLA msg program.  The reason is the "Via:" and "Mail-from:"
headers on the messages; the msg program interprets any line it cannot
understand (that is, any line beginning with anything but "Date:",
"Sender:", "From:", "Subject:", or "To:") as the end of the header.
Note that the header format on the Unix-wizards messages is acceptable
according to RFC 733, although the format expected by our version of
the msg program is the "recommended" one.

Note also, if you're trying to fix this, that ANY message format
containing a "Date:" line and a "From:" line somewhere before the
message body is acceptable according to RFC 733.
