In moving from 3.94, to 4.21 ... we ran into a bad thing...

saving a message to a folder has changed. for example, In the 
"old days" a saved message into one of my folders would look
like the following:

My "From " line is re-written so my mesages is not from the
sender, but from me!?  What is that?

Don't worry about that line.  It's just used as a seperator, and has no
other use.  The real From: line is farther down, and starts with "From:",
not ">From".

But it does matter or I would not have queried :-)

The issue with this "feature" is that interaction with the folder with
mailx program is now hosed. Using mailx for example, with this 
"feature" present, it appears that all the messages in the folder are
from the user, versus the recipient.

Bad bad bad, I need help correcting this before the users start
exploding!

Is there additional technical help that might know what the 
feature or variable is called?

Many thanks,
