This latest draft fails to address the problem I reaised earlier, namely that omitting the From field altogether breaks a widely deployed MTA, namely sendmail (and maybe others too) which is regularly configured to insert a From field of its own choosing if it finds none present already. I asked you (Bruce) to post a test message to this list containing no From field (and no Message-ID field for that matter) so that the effect of your proposal on existing MTAs could be evaluated. Why have you not done this? -- Charles H.
