This is not a fanfic. I am using Eudora and I am getting messages from the
FFML with the subjects and senders headings not specified.

Now when I opened up this messages, I noted that the subjects and senders
are listed..Just that there is an extra line within the headers so that part
of the headers are assumed to be part of the body...

Is anyone out there getting the same problem???

Yep.  As far as I've seen, it's mostly been happening with fanfics 
themselves - maybe it's something to do with file length?  (Or maybe 
not.)  White Wolf, could you look into this?

To add another data point to the curve... I'm seeing it as well.


I can see the following:

No "From:" but a "X-From_:", no "Date:" but an "Old-Date:" and at the very bottom, a "Subject:"
All of this after a blank line, meaning those lines are part of the message, not the header.

Looks like BAD software is used.

Just found out the "Resent-From:" is always the same. Looks like our moderator doing salvage
work on bad message with bad software.
