Re: [WebDNA] multi [sendmail] inside [search]
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2012
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 109308
interpreted = N
texte = I routinely send out emails with much longer subject lines. The same for the to and from fields. As Ken noted in an earlier email, a bogus FROM address is problematic. I know I can't put a bogus FROM address and expect it to work. Hope that helps.
