Yes.

There are two known causes of this. 1: The email contains an attachment 
with a file name longer than 31 characters. or 2: The email has been 
forwarded more than 9 times and not had its old MIME headers removed each 
time (ie: has more than 9 layers of MIME headers).

In either case, the file Temp Incoming file can be fixed using Temp 
Reader which you can get from my web site. Or you can just throw out the 
bad Temp Incoming file each time (or open it in a text editor to read the 
body of the message, and then in a Resource editor to read the headers of 
the message... or just open it in Temp Reader which will display both 
parts of the message for you, as well as offer to fix it and/or let you 
save it as plain text).

There may be other reasons a Temp Incoming file can cause Emailer to 
crash. The two reasons above are the only two I have run into so far. If 
anyone has this crashing problem, and Temp Reader does NOT fix the bad 
Tmep Incoming file, I would LOVE a copy of the Temp Incoming file so I 
can look into what else might be wrong and update Temp Reader to fix it 
as well (if you send me a bad Temp Incoming file, please send it as an 
attachment, preferably stuffed first).
