[Mailman-Users] rare problem

[Jesús Oliván]

Sorry for delay, it was holidays time and today i've returned.

When i try to send a mail with a from like this:

From: test <prova at uab.cat>

It works fine and mail arrived to list.

Problem seems to appear when From line exceeds certain number of 
characters (>50) and contains accents, when it occurs From line splits 
in two, and mail didn't arrive to destiny list. Another problem comes 
when system tries to send returned mail to sender and From line didn't 
exist, then sender never knows that its mail hasd not arrived to list.

Thanks!
