Hello simran,

I had actually read your post on the evo board a while ago, where you
mentioned the empty emails you get. That thread seemed headed in another
direction, though, so I didn't pick it up.

As for your question: I am not on 123ehost, I am with RotoHost. But
their SpamAssassin is indeed activated with CPanel. I also have a couple
of other domains hosted with different providers, who also offer
SpamAssassin via CPanel. But I haven't activated the SpamAssassin on
those, and I don't have a problem with chopped up emails.

My guess is that SpamAssassin in certain circumstances introduces
characters into the emails that Evolution interprets as an
end-of-message(line feed, followed by a period).

I will change the Evolution settings to retain messages on the server,
and then compare the Evolution inbox with the same messages pulled
through , say, kmail, or web mail. That might give some clues.
