I don't think this a bug. Email with mbox-style From headers are not technically mh messages.

This one drove me nuts! The dist (ver. 1.0.4) program worked perfectly at home, while the same program at work ended up looking like a forwarded message with the original message and it's headers in the body of the dist'd message.

Using the Source wasn't much help, but then I noticed that the message files at work all had an mbox style "From " headers at the top of each message. The ones at home do not. I deleted that header from my test message and re-dist'd it and it worked perfectly.

Is this a bug or a feature? Your call. I can work around this (procmail is your friend), but I'd appreciate it if this could be fixed in the dist module itself.

Thanks,
Stephen Hansen
