Okay, I think that I understand now. And incidentally, I missed the
reference to this in the FAQ. I apologize for that.
Exim is adding the new "From" to denote that it has "piped" the message
onto something else for delivery (procmail, in my case). So I need to
find a prefix for exim besides ">" that doesn't make mailx think that the
body of the message is starting. Or I need to give up procmail.
Thanks,
Michael
