Re: Re: [PEAR-BUG] Bug #9507 [Opn->NoF]: Envelope FROM isn't decoded properly

Can you let me know what generated a header like that, as I could not find any examples of it, and could not quickly find any reference to it on google.

Most of the examples I found look like this.

Return-path: <xxxx>
Envelope-to: [email protected]
Received: from mail-pz0-f47.google.com ([209.85.210.47])
	by akbkhome.com with esmtps (TLS1.0:RSA_ARCFOUR_SHA1:16)
	(Mailfort v1.2)
	(envelope-from <xxxx.com>)
	id 1R0SVR-0005Sx-Jh
	for [email protected]; Mon, 05 Sep 2011 14:18:05 +0800

Regards
Alan
