Yes, but that's less common - and SpamAssassin certainly doesn't support that Content-Length variety of mbox ... so it needs to do the '^From ' escaping if it is doing mbox delivery. Isn't it just old Suns? I've never run into it, anywho. And besides, jwz thinks it's stupid: http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/demo/content-length.html (I agree with him ...) > > I swear delivery isn't worth doing.
