*nod*, it is. The problem here (I'm a colleague of Diederik's) was that
maildir format was being used, where you don't generally want the From
delimiter - there's a very helpful section of suggested options to use
with maildir delivery in the Exim book (thanks Philip!). Some reading
clients appear to cope (ie ignore) with the header, others break on it :(
