Sam, I've been appreciating your work and your knowledgeable arrogance since the days, probably a dozen years ago or more, when you were publishing qmail patches and I was corresponding with you about them while trying to get a startup Texas ISP up to speed with their mail server management :) No worries, mate! I'll take a look at this and parse and test the message as you suggest and see what I come up with. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Evolution were in error here. As MUAs go, Evolution is a very odd beast. It was originally written by a company called Ximian (the monkey people) which was bought by Novell and eventually morphed into the default Gnome MUA. My impression is that the code base is so convoluted, complex and probably poorly maintained between development teams that it's very difficult to work with. It's no longer the default Gnome MUA. On the other hand, if one avoids the many bugs in the program, it has some elegant and very powerful capabilities for managing and reading emails, such as being able to extract MIME encapsulated emails (as in a sequester by SpamAssassin) and save them as discrete emails into mail storage. Unlike any other GUI MUA I've ever worked with, it treats people like technical adults, much as mutt does, and provides many powerful hooks and tools for managing email. T-bird doesn't match it. No MS product even comes close, nor does Mac Mail. There's no doubt, though, that it's buggy, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if your assertion were true. If we can come up with something concrete here I'll post a bug against Evolution and hopefully it'll make it to the upstream people, if any, responsible for maintaining it. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Never expect the people who caused a problem FMP Computer Services | to solve it." - Albert Einstein 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Java SE, Java EE, Eclipse, Spring, Hibernate, JavaScript, jQuery and much more.
