[imp] Mail problem after upgrade to cvs HEAD

[Kenny Elliott]

Jan:

Thanks for the information. Atleast now I know why it's happening and can point
at the RFC when questioned.

I have not read the RFC yet. I'm going to do that right now but answer me this
if you can. Does the RFC dictate the order of the headers or could the
offending  Received line be moved further down say to last so that the other
headers are not lost on broken Windows mail servers.

Kenny.
