Provided that it is followed by a space or a tab. The code in Exim is
supposed to check for this. Of course, it may be buggy. (Actually, it
*is* buggy; I see I have used "isspace()" instead of testing for space
or tab. I'll fix that.) Noted to check this out in due course.

Are you sure the \n in $h_from was followed by space?

Workaround:

to = ${tr{$h_from:}{\n}{ }}
