| Hi - we've also fallen victim to the "problem with dots in From: fields"
| problem. Has anyone come up with a solution to the problem yet? If not,
| does the change in the "Dq" definition suggested below (UK-sendmail 2.1)
| do the necessaries without jeopardising aything else?
| 
| Instead of the usual...
| 
| Dq$?x$x <$g>$|$g$.
| 
| How's about ...
| 
| Dq$?x\"$x\" <$g>$|$g$.
