It sounds like you are using the wrong mailbox type. If the
mailbox is in
mbox format, any line beginning with "From " should be escaped.
Can you provide more information about your email setup?
Also, can you run
bmf with the verbose option and let me know if bmf properly
detects your
storage format?

I have seen this bug as well, but it is only occuring when
"From" is not escaped properly. I would expect to get a
message with "From" at the begining of the line like so:
>From John Doe at FooWare
Occasionally I get messages that are unescaped so the ">" is
not present. I run bmf in passthrough mode (-p) so at that
point bmf will place a X-Spam-Status header into the
message.
From John Doe at FooWare
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.000000 required=0.900000
This, to me is semi-expected because some mailer along the
way might not be escaping the 'From' correctly. I know some
MUAs deal with this correctly and go ahead and quote the
'From,' but that might mean more overhead. I've only taken
a glance at the lex.c code so I don't have anything further
to contribute code wise. I have a raw, real-world message
that triggers this case if anyone wants it.

I think the key point here is that this happens in
_passthrough_ mode. When bmf is in passthrough mode I don't
think it should be looking to auto-split the mail at all.
In my case, bmf -p runs via my .procmailrc on
socrates.catalyst.net.nz, and then there are several further
hops to actually get the e-mail to me. You can see the

>From one of these comments it appears that a reference to the
paragraph with outline numbering should work. AFAICS it
does not.
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.000000 required=0.900000
I can create a bookmark in (say) paragraph 4.2.1.5.4 and then
referencce that somewhere else. When I create the reference
I can
choose the format "Page" which does what I expect, but if I
select
"Chapter" format I just get "4" without the sublevels. I
can't see
how to get the full "4.2.1.5.4" to appear.
Ideally I would like to be able to select "Outline" for
"Type" of
cross-reference in the dialog and then the outline
paragraphs should be listed in "Selection" for me to choose
the one to refer too.
Sub-optimally, but usably, if I could just choose "Paragraph
Number" under "Format" for the reference and have the
paragraph number for that paragraph (i.e. formatted as
defined in the outline numbering), appear as my reference.
This should be OS:All too - I see the same problem under
Windows and Linux.

Hello all,
The administration here is considering the purchase of any future lab
computers and laptops without floppy drives, insisting that recordable CDs,
USB key drives, and web storage will be easily adopted by our students.
From my own experience of watching students, USB drives are gaining
popularity, but the floppy disk is still the storage medium of choice,
probably because it's cheap and easy to use.
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.000000 required=0.900000
Have any institutions implemented "floppyless" computer labs and/or
classrooms? How do the students react to them? What kinds of operational
and maintenance problems were created when computers were made
"floppyless"?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Geez Thorsten. What do you do if a person isn't using
sendmail or it's misconfigured and the recipient still gets
an unescaped 'From', hmmm? That's not really a helpful
solution.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
the whole issue gets pretty serious if you have two "from" -
entries whithin one e-mail-header. Them the header seems to
be one e-mail for bmf and the body another. This completely
messes up the filter database and instead of learning and
getting better and better over time, bmf does it job worse
every batch of e-mails it gets to process.
Training bmf on partly misclassified e-mails doesn't help,
of course.
You have a spammy header and a hammy body - what should be
considerd when applaying filter on X-Spam-... entries?
This in mind, bmf is almost near to useless. The deprecated
"-m" option might help, if still working, because using
maildirs it should be clear that every pile of bytes passed
on to bmf is exactly one e-mail, not two or more.

There is a flag you can add to sendmail.cf which lets it
escape the
unescaped "From "s in a mail body.
According to
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/usail/mail/op/op-sh-5.4.html#sh-5.4
you just have to add an E to the mailer flags.

Hi,

entries whithin one e-mail-header. Them the header seems to
be one e-mail for bmf and the body another. This completely
