[gmime-devel] "From" detection in FilterBest

[Robert Schroll <rschroll gmail com>]

Hi all,

I've been looking at the source of FilterBest, and I note that one of 
the things it checks for is if any line begins with "From ".  If so, it 
will select (at least) the quoted-printable encoding.

I assume this is there to avoid confusing mbox files with lines that 
begin "From ".  But the quoted-printable encoding doesn't seem to alter 
this at all; that line will still begin "From ".  So this seems a bit 
pointless.

Am I missing something here?  Should the quoted-printable encoder be 
doing something to protect this line?  Or should this test just be 
removed?

Thanks,
Robert
