A weird thing has started within the last couple of days. It is only
affecting mail received from the SA users mail list and only to mail
received from Paul Douglas Franklin of Yakima UGM <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The messages have a "To" header like this:

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Users <users"@<81>!Can.gregorie.org,
    [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
    [EMAIL PROTECTED],
    [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
    [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
    [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've edited it slightly:
- I line wrapped it
- the group "<81>" replaces a character with the hex value of 0x81.
  I had to change it because in its original form it was corrupting
  the header when I pasted it into this message.  

I think its not anything malicious and that its bitten mail sent by Mr.
Franklin because of something unique in the headers when his response
reached the SA listserver. I think it may have something to do with the
SA mailing list software. Reasons:

- In the past I've noticed that mail I've sent has appeared on the
  mailing list minus the first line of the body. When I looked at
  what I sent the first line was present and correct

- If I pick off the mailbox part of all addresses after the 0x81
  byte I get:

  "Can you point me to a good regex tutorial? The one I have 
  found has",

  which is the first line of Mr. Franklin's message. In the
  message I received the body of this message starts from his
  second line: 

  "given me a lot of good starting stuff, but it doesn't mention
  the ?:,"

Has anybody else seen this problem?

I'd really like this to be fixed as its littering my mail archiving
system with junk addresses. I'm unable to include the message as
received - sorry. I've tried, but its content is causing Evolution to
corrupt the outgoing headers.
