 Hi guys,
 I'm forwarding a bug opened to the debian team, we have the intention to
 close the bug because for us it is not a problem but the person who cut
 the bug keeps reopening it.

 What I'm looking here is a *clear* response from you about this behavior,
 do you want to add the From header by default or do you want to let the
 MTA manage it?

 This is the first bug report, done 8 years ago (sic).

 ---

 With the default configuration of mutt and exim, bounced messages may end
 up with no From: headers.  This can be reproduced by sending a message
 while
 saving a copy in =sent.  If that copy is then bounced, then mutt doesn't
 add a From: header since the default Muttrc doesn't do so, and exim
 doesn't
 add one since Resent-From is present.

 Something's got to give here.

 All the rest of the bug and its discussion is on
 http://bugs.debian.org/93268

 I look forward to your reply.

 Cheers
 Antonio
