Subject: [Exim] CLI messages w/colon interpreted as headers
hello,

I'm using the exim CLI to send messages from a shell
script. When the message contains a colon the content
is interpreted as a header instead of body content.

e.g.-

echo "this is a message" | /path/exim myemail@mydomain

works fine, but

echo "this: is a message" | /path/exim
myemail@mydomain

sets a header "this:" with value "is a message"

apologies if I'm missing something obvious (incorrect
syntax, ... ?)... I've searched the exim docs,
newsgroups, etc.

thanks,
Ryan
