I always get the following (below) for messages posted by Alain LaBonte.
Are others also seeing the same? Or is my sendmail doing something odd?
The message is delivered to my mailbox, but the error message (pasted
below) also goes to Postmaster. Does the error message go to uni-bounce?
There is of course an unbalanced * " * in the From header field.

But is the problem arising from differences in character encoding, for the
accented * e * in LaBonte, on the different systems? LaBonte with
accented e is what I see (in Pine) in Alain's signature at the end of the
msg. But if I look at the mailbox file using vi or 'tail' I dont see the
accented character itself.

Also, John Cowan, while replying to Alain's msg, wrote:

Alain LaBonti" (that's the way I read it) wrote:

I apologize for pasting the entire error messages. Would appreciate some
clarification. Copying this msg to unicode-request.
