Interesting. To reproduce what i see, you can do following steps: 1. move the file (temporarily but be sure to back up) ~/sent 2. in mutt, do set record="~/sent" 3. send an email with "From " in the body 4. Open in vim or in mutt+vim ~/sent file. I think you will then see that no escape is there. Kind regards, Xu
