- Note that the first line containing it is the From: line. I believe that
- some systems will break up anything containing a From: line in the body
- into multiple posts. Some people, when including an article without
- quoting it, will indent part of the header in order to avoid this problem.
-
- I don't know any more details about this, but I've seen the effects - someone
- tried to post a summary of recipes he'd saved to rec.food.cooking, and the
- fact that there were multiple From: lines in the body and that it went
- through a system containing the above bug made it get posted hundreds of
- times.
