Oh, RFC2822 clearly does -- it refers to RFC2045 through 20499, which
define MIME. In any case, that "From " line is not defined by RFC822
either, it is purely an implementation matter. As such, Mhonarc would
stand better if it followed the MIME standard which says that the
message should be split at the terminators defined in the header. Only
if no such terminators are defined the "From " line should be used.
