Totally off topic, but maybe someone with to much time on his
hands can look at the bug.

Its inherent to the way sendmail (and friends) handle email.

Send an email and on disk it gets saved with these   chars at the
end.

I use a server at home which accepts emails but never sends them on their
way. At the moment I dial in I do a sendmail -q to actually sent them.

During that time I see 2 files stored, the headers and the message itself, the
message itself is formatted to be at max 80 chars (or something) long, the lines
that are cut have the   at the end.

So the fix would be to s/ \\n//;

Cheers!

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
