The weird UIDL characters are okay. They're following
the RFC correctly. The non-compliant one here seems to
be your webmail software. Are you SURE that the weird
UIDL characters are causing this? You should ask for a
patch from your vendor then (although I know this is
not that easy in the real world).
More info on the FAQ:
http://www.eudora.com/qpopper/faq.html#3.0.uidl
Now it really seems they shouldn't be appearing if you
used that option. Any ideas anyone?
Good luck,
