They're pretty different methods.  With packages (RPMs in this case)
you're working with atomic units, pretty much... you install the RPMs and
do a little post-install configuring.  With CVS, you're checking out
individual files, and then doing somewhat more post-checkout configuring;
however, it's easier to get "just one fix" from CVS after that point,
fixes are available right away [no wait for the next release and RPM
builds] etc.  I use both in different contexts; depends on what your goals
are.

Correct.  It's not worth creating RPMs quite yet while 2.3.x is still in
motion... but shortly when 2.3.x beta releases become available, that will
be a good time to provide beta RPMs as well, I think.

Subject: 'Unreplyable' From:

Hi all,

I received a message with an 'unreplyable' From: header, such as

From: Mailrobot <>

(note the empty brackets, "<>")

IMP (2.3.7-cvs) displays the following in the From field:

Mailrobot@UNKNOWN, UNEXPECTED_DATA_AFTER_ADDRESS@.SYNTAX-ERROR.

I don't think that's right... Is there an easy fix?
