Package: emacs23
Version: 23.2+1-4
Severity: critical
Tags: patch
Justification: causes serious data loss
I have lost a few days's worth of outgoing email because Emacs decided that it
did not need to pass "-f" to sendmail any more (resulting in the envelope-from
address in this outgoing mail to have a form that my relayhost rejects as
potential spam).
The (simple) patch is attached,
Stefan
