One cause is unbalanced mail clients running on MS Windows. ;-> Another cause that I've seen is a relatively old version of 'sendmail' running and receiving those huge "cc" lists that people seem to love to create these days. With insufficient buffer space to hold the whole virtual line, the older versions of 'sendmail' will just truncate them. This would result in extra '<'s. But not extra '>'s. Extra '>'s might be produced by MTA or MUA code that "knows better than you do", and alters the header lines - a Bad Thing To Do Indeed, but typical of MS MTAs. -- Joe Yao jsdy@cospo.osis.gov - Joseph S.
