Package: rss2email Version: 1:2.62-3 Severity: normal
rss2email includes the title of a blog in the From address, not just the author name. Apart from being semantically wrong (From contains the author name, not the topic) this causes excessively long From headers that a) get truncated in the message overview of most MUAs, so author name isn't visible and
b) trigger bugs in other software (e.g. nullmailer[1]).I suggest using the title only if the author name cannot be determined (i.e. replace each "+=" in getName() with "=").
