[Esd-l] Funny problem with From lines

[Jonathan Giles]

so your fix was to use an earlier version of procmail.
we are using v3.21
and I know 3.22 is out, or I think it is and they claim it is stable.
ports in freebsd... 4.3 is what we are using, installs 3.21 but manually I
can upgrade.
Would you suggest that?
