As someone said previously, the mailing software truncates stuff after the word "From", if it begins a sentence, probably because it thinks that's part of the mail header. No conspiracy or cloak and dagger stuff, just a bug that probably ought to be looked at.
I'd take this opportunity to ask if there's any other background to what Kohs is talking about there. I know that he twists stuff and he's an expert at making himself look the victim, but I've seen that particular story a couple of times and the way he was quickly kicked from IRC does look pretty bad. What, if anything, is he omitting from the story?

And worse than that, has bragged about it. Even I, a fairly naive content editor, would have realised that that is anathema to the purpose of Wikipedia.. But the difference is that I am an honest contributor, and banned by ArbCom, and he is a dishonest contributor, and banned by the community. You go figure the difference.
PS, Greg, please feel free to sue; I have plenty of time to defend since I can no longer deal with vandalism on WP these days. I'll even let you know the name of my attorneys for service. Make my day.
