Package: lists.debian.org Severity: normal The Debian mailing-list software mungs e-mail contents by adding a ">" character in front of "From" at the beginning of a line. This can confuse users since it is similar to the quote prefix. And this is not needed at all (it can be needed by the mbox format, but this format shouldn't be used for mailing-list handling).
An example: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/08/msg01470.html This isn't specific to the mail archive since the ">" character was also present in the mail copy from debian-user. But it wasn't present in the mail copy I received as a Bcc user; so, this didn't come from my side. (Just in case it matters, my e-mail messages are sent with "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".) -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init)
