It is simply a modified IBM NOTE exec, registered hack number
5749DMS00/NOTE/239485, which sends the stuff out with a filetype of MAIL. And
here you are, it gets interpreted as RFC822 and is found to be of the
following form:
From: userid@node name
(no angle brackets)
Hence the userid@node becomes 'CAROLE'. This is grossly incorrect of course.
I'll have to run the new parser through it to see what it says -- I bet it
shouts out that there's an error.
Right, it says:
I Empty 'From:' field found an ignored. (several times -- due to the commas)
E Mail origin cannot be determined.
E Original FROM field was: blablabla
This means 1.5j would reject such messages. I definitely need to buy myself a
double-thickness asbestos coat. I'm not going to do anything about this
anyway. IBM NOTEs should not try to give the impression that they are RFC822
mail -- is it SO difficult to modify NOTE to create valid RFC822 headers? Just
quote the whole thing and append '<userid@node>' at the end, eg:
From: "Eric Thomas ERIC at FRECP11
CTI
Ecole Centrale de Paris
blablabla" <ERIC@FRECP11>
and make sure to translate " to ' and \ to blank inside the name to avoid
problems. That's all. Is it THAT difficult???
