Though to play nicely in the sandbox Roundup should be strict in what it
produces and Pine should be forgiving in what it accepts.
The From_ (as opposed to the From:) header of the message I'm responding to
is 96 characters long and was not wrapped. Is it possible that Roundup is
doing the right thing but that some misbehaving MTA between Roundup and
Dennis is doing the line wrapping he sees?
