My question... why **exactly** can't webmail line wrap messages? :)

1st question: Some of my incoming mesasges involve messages forwarded to my server via a rule from accounts that some of my clients have on other ISPs mail servers. For such incoming messages, I have been creating a temporary copy of the message where all headers that were ADDED by either the other ISP and/or my server are removed so that the message is brought back to the state that it was in when originally sent by the original sender (just prior to the ISP's mail server received it). This way, SA can work with that the potential spammer actually sent, without any received headers added. But is that really necessary? Or would I get the same results if, under my configuration described above, I just left the extra added headers in there?
To get the same functionality without stripping headers you'd have to add the forwarders' IPs to your trusted and internal networks config.
(I'm concerned that, even with skip_rbl_checks turned off, there might still be SPF checking or other things going on???? which then might get messed up if I don't present the message in its "original" form. PLEASE... let me know if that is the case. This will only be about the 10th time that I've asked what other "network checks" happen besides Razor/DCC when skip_rbl_checks is set to true.)
SPF checks aren't RBL checks, so skip_rbl_checks doesn't affect them. Enabling or disabling the SPF plugin and/or rules affects whether SPF checks are done.
As for what other network checks are done; run a message through in debug mode and find out. Everything is logged in the debug output. This'll only be about the 2nd time I've suggested this, 8 more to go to catch up. :)
2nd question: Does SA have any problems working with a file that OTHER programs are currently accessing (in "read" mode)?
Just like any other simultaneous file access, if the lock states are compatible you're OK. If there is some file in a lock state that isn't compatible with what SA wants to do SA will continue on after a short time, so there's no risk in SA hanging up.
