ncomment 	|is there something missing from my original test case that you need? the original test case shows that|| the envelope from header is not parsed. instead of "from" => " - Tue Nov 28 23:42:23 2006", it is incorrectly|| set to "from - tue nov 28 23" => "42:23 2006" || ||in other words, it splits on the first colon instead of the space. || ||please also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_sender, which details several synonyms for this|| term and explains it in some detail. the header is required for proper bounce handling and really should|| be properly supported in mail handling classes :)|
