David, I noticed that in your e-mail samples you couldn't determine the sender's user-agent in more than half the messages. You might try installing the "Display Mail User Agent" extension -- it is quite good in figuring out the MUA from obscure telltales, even if there's no explicit user-agent string. That way, you could find a bit more about the senders -- I notice that both the most error-prone and the most error-free mail clients went unidentified, for instance. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
