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.
