EML file format - first line

[malins]

Hello,

my EML files on disk look a bit strange, the first line is a timestamp with some spaces in front.

My mail program (Evolution) has problems at opening such files. Whats the purpose of this first line and is this a bug?

Thank you,
Manuel

I'm not getting that first line. I don't think is a problem of FakeSMTP.
