[Bug 620539] Re: From_ lines within the message body can confuse the archiver

Lines/Content-Length headers mean nothing to Mailman.

Clearly, Mailman received a message with an embedded, unescaped From_.
The question is why was the From_ not escaped in the archiver. Standard
GNU Mailman 2.1.12 does escape the From_ during archiving.

There is a Debian patch (77_header_folding_in_attachments.patch) which
can cause this problem. The issue that the Debian patch addresses was
properly addressed upstream in 2.1.13. Perhaps RedHat picked up the bad
Debian patch somehow or has its own bad patch?
