Sorry for the cross-posting, but I guess this will interest anyone
who uses Hypermail to archive their mailing lists...
A subscriber was complaining that his posts weren't being archived,
and on investigation I discovered that Hypermail would get confused
and fall over if given a "Message-Id:" header which doesn't have
the message ID itself enclosed in '<' and '>'
So, I just thought I'd pass the message on. I've attached a simple
minded (and unofficial) fix for the problem which seems to work for
me - your mileage may vary!
Cheerio,
Martin
