Incorrect bouncing of messages with two From_ headers

[Vsevolod Volkov <vvv@…>]

Package: mutt
Version: /usr/local/mutt/bin/mutt
Severity: normal

-- Please type your report below this line

mutt does not removes second From_ header when bouncing. This
causes sendmail to treat header of source message as body.
Example. Source header was:

From mail-troubles@colocall.net  Wed Jul 11 18:36:56 2001
>From nobody  Wed Jul 11 18:36:56 2001
Return-Path: <mail-troubles@colocall.net>
.......

After bouncing we have:

From vvv  Thu Jul 19 17:34:42 2001
Return-Path: <vvv@colocall.net>
Received: (from vvv@localhost)
        by colocall.net (8.11.1/8.11.1) id f6JEYgc72612
        for vvv@colocall.net; Thu, 19 Jul 2001 17:34:42 +0300 (EEST)
        (envelope-from vvv)

.......

To fix this, mutt should remove >From_ while copying header before
bouncing.

Here is additional information from man procmail:

=== cut: man procmail ===
      When in explicit delivery mode, procmail will  generate  a
      leading  `From  '  line if none is present.  If one is al-
      ready present procmail will leave it intact.  If  procmail
      is  not invoked with one of the following user or group ids
      : root, daemon, uucp, mail, x400,  network,  list,  slist,
      lists,  news, majordom or majordomo, but still has to gen-
      erate or accept a new `From ' line, it  will  generate  an
      additional `>From ' line to help distinguish fake mails.
=== end cut ===
