It's defiantly the cfpop tag throwing the error. I think it's happening in CFMX (and not in CF 5) because CFMX uses JavaMail, which is where I believe the bug actually is. I have tried dropping in different versions of JavaMail, but I still get the same (or only slightly different) errors.
I was able to reproduce the problem by using cfpop to retrieve an HTML email sent by Apple Mail. I have come across 5 other people who have encountered the same problem caused by attachments, but nobody has yet offered a solution. Last October, Jochem posted the following: "I believe this is caused by some sort of charset incompatibility, possibly in the underlying Java layer. I am receiving the same error every now and then, but I have not yet been able to reproduce it at will. So far, it appears that the error only occurs when the message is send using some UTF-x charset and from Exchange. But that might just be the people that send me email." Paul Hastings responded with the following: "hotmail utf-7 if i recall correctly. underlying java issue thats been there 2-3 years now. go to sun's bug parade & complain along with the rest of us... " I will let you know what I find out.
