Yes, but the message really seems to be bad. When I look the offending mailbox (mbx format) with Pine, I get this: R 1999-01-28 <obscured> (4530) Re: <subject obscured> RA 1999-05-07 <obscured> (4063) R (1155) R 1999-05-08 <obscured> (4883) Re: The third message contains the text body from the previous message, and begins with a '>From ' line.
