Possibly a bad message. And if you are always seeing it with AOL, it is 
possible that yes, you ARE getting one every time (although REALLY 
unlikely... but because of the way AOL handles forwards, it trips a bug 
in Emailer if an email has been forwarded too many times).

It is also possible that there is only one bad message, and it is still 
stuck in the temp incoming folder, and is what is constantly causing 
Emailer to fail to unpack. Have you manually removed the messages from 
that folder and seen if the problem goes away?

When you get hit with this problem under OS 9 and earlier, you need to 
open the Temp Incoming folder in your Emailer Files folder, and remove 
the newest message in there. (Sort by date, take the top or bottom 
depending on your sort order).

There is no fix for Emailer, but my Temp Reader will repair the two known 
sources of bad temp incoming files. It repairs the bad file so Emailer 
won't crash when unpacking it. You can download Temp Reader from my web 
site. Of course, Temp Reader will also just do what its name says, and 
read the file, and that may be enough that you don't need to repair it at 
all.
