$l (lowercase L)

The Unix From format V8.6 and earlier

Prior to V8.7 sendmail, the $l macro was used to define the appearance of the five-character "From" header, and the format of the line that was used to separate one message from another in a file of many mail messages. This role has been assumed by the UnixFromLine option. See UnixFromLine on page 1113 for a description of both this $l macro and that new option.
