Does anybody know why some sites seem to mangle their "From" headers?
I've seen consistant trouble with harpo, philabs and, now, qusavx.

Here's what I mean.  This is part of some mail headers:

> From seismo!philabs!mcvax!jan  Thu Jan  5 07:20:47 1984 remote from uwvax
> From: uwvax!seismo!mcvax!jan (Jan Heering)
> To: philabs!seismo!uwvax!heurikon!jeff

Why is "philabs" missing from the middle "from" header?  A bug?
This results in a lot of bounced replies.  Sometimes there is clear evidence
in the headers that the site in question was really on the route and not
bypassed.  Should the "From:" header be ignored in favor of "From"?
