Well, I am running Solaris.  But I can't see why that would make a
difference since I'm using sendmail and nmh, not any of the stock
Solaris stuff.  Also, since this is all in the body of the message
I can't see why this would happen as it shouldn't be looking for
headers anymore.

Odd bug, has anyone else seen this?

[Jon Steinhart]

I have noticed that mail from one of the mailing lists that I subscribe
to often gets mangled on "inc", splitting a message into two.  I can't
tell what's going on for sure because by the time I see the mail, it's
too late.  My suspicion is that somehow one of the "headers" in the
message body is triggering problems.  There are headers in the body
because the message is a collection of other messages.  Oh, I don't
recall seeing this running the stock nmh, just on the stuff from the
CVS.  Here's what I'm seeing:
