Sorry.  It did circulate but I didn't get a chance to look at it earlier.

The problem is that your emails are getting smashed together and
without the 'perl -V' output that would allow them to be classified
against a perl platform and version.

Consider this email:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/04/msg3665892.html

Search it for "Dear Curtis".  You'll note it's repeated.  You'll also
note that there is no 'perl -V' output.

I don't know why this happens.  I believe there is a bug in Net::SMTP
that doesn't appropriately break up long lines.  Depending on the
particular mail server involved, I could imagine that this overflows
some sort of buffer, as the RFC for SMTP has a line length limit, I
think.  I have no idea why multiple emails get jammed together -- I
don't think that's a client-side issue.

I do note that your 'perl -V' output appears to have some sort of
unicode character after the '.' at the end of the @INC list.  I don't
know if that's related, either.

What's in your .cpanreporter/config.ini?

Ultimately, I'm not sure we have an answer.  If you want to explore
Net::SMTP and getting it to break up long lines, please see if that
helps.
