That's good to know :-).

Mail is transfered directly to my machine via SMTP. exim then pipes it to maildrop, and maildrop performs the final delivery. I'll look around and see if I can figure out where the escaping is happening. I have the check_string and escape_string variables in exim set to not escape the From_ line.
