Description Marco Clocchiatti 2011-03-18 23:19:39 UTC 
mail-mta/ssmtp-2.64 FromLineOverride option is buggy

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set FromLineOverride=never in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
make a header.txt file, similar to this one:
From: My Name<myBox@box.org>
Subject: any
To: myFriend@foo.bar

3. do something similar to:
cat someText.txt |mutt -H header.txt myFriend@foo.bar

Actual Results:  
the from line is substituted with username@hostname

Expected Results:  
the from line should be the mutt defined:
My Name<mybox@box.org>
