OK. I didn't mean to hijack the original thread. I'll see what I can come up with on what I brought up.

Interesting. I wonder if it's somehow related to either: .) the spambox feature (which I believe modifies this file) or perhaps .) some side effect of a user changing their preferences. Might want to test these to see if you can recreate the result. I think the former is more likely. In any case, this seems to point to a problem with the maildrop-toaster package. Please start a new thread for further discussion about this. -- -Eric 'shubes' Patrick Ring wrote: > Thank you.
