1. A statement explaining the impact.

If a user is sending an email with an rfc822/message attachment. The
e-mail is received by dovecot but the attachment is empty. This caused
by a bug in dovecot that we ship for dapper.

2. How the bug has been addressed.

The dovecot developers have already addressed this in their VCS
(http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot/rev/0e7a9b0aa8c3). It has been fixed in
v1.0.beta4 (which is also fixed for hardy).

To fix this issue in dapper, I have backported the patch for the version
that we use in dapper (v1.0beta3) called 101-fix-message-
rfc822-parts.dpatch. I have tested locally and it was working as
expected. Send an email with an attachment and I get the expected
results.

3. Patch

A debdiff has been provided which fixes this issue has been attched.

4. Instructions to reproduce

TEST CASE:

1. Send an email with an attachment (ie: exe) to yourself.
2. Check to see if the attachment is still there.

5. A discussion of the potential regression.

I dont think there is a potential regression since this has already been
fixed upstream.
