I'd missed that. My default configuration from the 0.40 days had a whole
list of never_users, including root and exim, the two I'd tried to set
the transport id to and I'd assumed the user = root directive over rode
that setting on the one transport.
Anyway, I set the user to mail, which wasn't on the never list, and now
procmail doesn't escape the From line. Would the empty from when
procmail escaped the From nobody be a bug in procmail perchance?

The place I had trouble with was in the directors section. I've included
it below. Some of the directors accept the user function, but some dont.
