Re: [mlmmj] Msg "bounces" from ml

["Ravi Chandran. S" <ravigsc@gmail.com>]

Hello Ben,

Thanks for your help. 

All emails to this list showed starting with "MIME-Version: 1.0". The other symptom was the weird bounces on and off. 

Problem turned out to be an extra line feed in control/customheaders was screwing up the headers. Now, rectified and all is well.

Thanks for the tip on verp.
