There seems to be an awful amount of added complexity in full RFC 1652
compliance. /Another/ commandline switch. Working around buggyness in
the two most important implementations (I understood "as
sendmail/postfix does" to be a bug.)
I am not quite sure what the point of the patch is?
a) Work in progress. 8to7 conversion will be added giving us RFC 1652
compliance. And only them will the code be added to a release.
b) Try out without complete support and see what breaks.
