This a problem in elm. It has been mentions several times,
but nobody seems to want to address it...at least as far as I
know. I have asked how sendmail and berkeley mail handles this
but I have recieved no response. I am to assume that nobody
knows. I would tackle the problem myself, but my C programming
skills are so minimal that I would do more damage than good.

In my humble opinion, elm is a wonderful program, but this is
a SERIOUS bug.
