You complained that a submissions agent said your mail was in the wrong format. kmail did display it, once, but on looking at the raw message, it was apparently base64 encoded without the proper mime headers that would have made it a legal message. At that point kmail crashed and would not restart without crashing again and again. I was unable to grep to find that specific message and delete it, so I was forced to clean out the Gimp-user directory in its entirety. Then it restarted just fine.

I was unable to determine what mail agent you were using, it did not identify itself in the headers I was able to read before the crash, but whatever it is, is seriously miss-configured.

For starters, its mime-typing is broken. Is it perchance an Oracle product? They seem to be at the root of several recent email debacles, and I am tempted to see if mailfilter can see that its an Oracle sourced message and kill it while still on the server.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

1. It was from Neal Weissman
2. Difficult to tell which mail client: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

You have a local problem. His mail displays quite fine although his addressing and top posting leave much to be desired.

No, your's is.

Better get your flame retardant under-suit ready. You are *wrong*.

How so?, and I'll try to fix it.

Not sitting in your chair.. cannot see your local problems. Mail displays properly here in my chosen client, mutt. You apparently have mail client problems.

Hello Gene,

Neal's top-posted message displayed fine, here, using T-Bird.

A little hard to tell what the issue is...
