Patch file 1 of 1

This is patch #8 to nn release 6.3.

This patch redoes the fixes for the "long From: line bug" that was also
fixed in patch 6, but unfortunately "reverted" by patch 7 to align it
with the release 6.3.7 made available via anon-ftp before patch 6 was
posted.  See also patchlevel.h.

+  *		because the "Long From: line bug" fixed by the posted  
+  *		patch #6 was still present in the 6.3.7 available via ftp.
+  *
+  *	Therefore, future patches relating to 6.3.7 will use the normal
+  *	patch numbering scheme, while future patches to the originally
+  *	posted nn will be numbered 61, 62, etc. (if any - which I don't 
+  *	hope).
