This will cause <em>MHonArc</em> to split a message into separate messages since it will treat the line as a message separator (if <em>MHonArc</em> is processing a mailbox file). One way to help avoid this problem is to set the MSGSEP resource to a more specific regular expression. For example: </p> <pre> <b><MSGSEP></b> ^From \S+\s+\S+\s+\S+\s+\d+\s+\d+:\d+:\d+\s+\d+ <b></MSGSEP></b> </pre> <p>or</p> <pre> <b><MSGSEP></b> ^From\s+(?:"[^"]+"@\S+|\S+)\s+\S+\s+\S+\s+\d+\s+\d+:\d+:\d+\s+\d+ <b></MSGSEP></b> </pre> <p>The second version deals with some systems that have quoted local parts in the address listed in the separator. </p> <p>It is still possible to get bogus splitting if a message contains a line that matches the regexp. Therefore, you may want to activate the <a href="conlen.html">CONLEN</a> resource, if applicable. </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Version</h2> <p>1.0 </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>See Also</h2> <p> <a href="conlen.html">CONLEN</a> </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <address> 00/10/28 11:13:04<br> <img align="top" src="../monicon.gif" alt=""> <a href="http://www.pobox.com/~ehood/mhonarc.html"><strong>MHonArc</strong></a><br> Copyright © 1997-1998, <a href="http://www.pobox.com/~ehood/">Earl Hood</a>, <a href="mailto:mhonarc@pobox.com">mhonarc@pobox.com</a><br> </address> </body> </html>
