> Email::Simple is wrapping long "From" headers, causing the resulting mailbox to be malformed.
Please see the documentation: Email::Simple handles only RFC2822 formatted messages. This means you cannot expect it to cope well as the only parser between you and the outside world, say for example when writing a mail filter for invocation from a .forward file (for this we recommend you use Email::Filter anyway). For more information on this issue please consult rt issue 2478 Email::Simple does not handle "From " headers, nor should it. -- "Nuclear war can ruin your whole compile." -- Karl Lehenbauer

But Email::Filter should, as the code path that results in this misbehaviour goes through Email::Filter - it's my bad as I pointed at the wrong module in the chain, but the diagnosis I came to with Earle still holds. One of them is fucked. -- Richard Clamp <richardc@unixbeard.net>
