The client apparently downloaded the same message twice each time it connected. It was weird. The apparent fix was to have it remove mail from server. The spool was fine. A single copy of each message was all that was there as expected. > How identical are the messages?

I don't have access to the MUA now (wasn't mine anyhow) and I imagine he's already deleted it but the headers he sent me showed the messages to be identical to the letter. The MUA just downloaded the message multiple times as far as I can tell.

If it comes back again I'll try to same the evidence for you. I haven't heard anything about it in a while though. Thanks Justin
