Subject: Help with majordomo & Pine problem

While running a moderated list on majordomo, majordomo sends all messages
directed to the list to a Pine user which contain both the majordomo
message and bounced message. However, Pine interprets majordomo's message
as two seperate messages, when in fact it should just be one message--this
must be because majordomo includes the headers for its bounced message
and Pine interprets that as two different messages. It
seems Pine doesn't notice the Content Length header in the majordomo
headers. I've looked for a possible configuration option in Pine to
correct this but have come up empty.

Is there any way to correct this problem? Thanks.

I have seen a similar effect when sending a mail to my provider's "mirror"
address. Mirror sends back a mail with the original mail in the body.
Therefore 2 From lines exist, and pine gets the mail as 2 mails. Since I
use procmail to filter all my incoming mail this effect vanishes.
