I have no problem to forward your message without this option, same ssmtp version 2.38.7.

I am trying to use ssmtp (2.38.7-4) as my 'mailer' in tin, the newsreader. tin invokes ssmtp as
/usr/sbin/ssmtp -t < %F
where %F is a file which contains the header (lines), a blank line (only \r\n) and body.
I have found that apparently ssmtp keeps reading 'header' lines (like From:, etc.) *after* it has read the full header, i.e. it also reads 'header' lines from the *body* of the message. For example it will fail (on the "From: Frank Slootweg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" line in the *body*) with the below input file.
Of course sending a message which contains a header in the body is quite common, so at the moment I can not use ssmtp.
Is this a known problem? Any solutions/workarounds/etc. (other than 'manually' quoting (">") the header lines in the body)?
Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Thanks, Dirk and Urs. I probably first will have a look at the Cygwin ssmtp package. In hindsight, it probably isn't fair on tin to ask it to invoke OE. It is already sad that it 'has' to *run on* a virus, but asking it to willingly *invoke* one is plain cruel. My apologies! [1]

[Note: I am sending this with OE, which may and may not correctly preserve the blank line (^\r\n$) between the header and body. Of course I have tested things with a correct blank line.]
