Unfortunately, your bug report did not contain enough information to resolve the problem, or even to reproduce the problem. Please send a sample mailbox, containing the message, that you allege that UW imapd can't open. Also, please state what *version* of UW imapd has the problem. I built a mailbox with that message, and UW imapd had no problem opening it. For what it's worth, the message *is* damaged. It appears that your virus scanner software inserted the following lines in the middle of the Chinese-language Subject: line, and terminated the header at that point: X-Envelope-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Virus-Scanned: by AMaViS 0.3.12pre7-U12 [29421] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) X-may-be-Spam: SpamAssassin: 10.4/5.0 X-Remote-IP: 61.146.225.15 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The actual Chinese-language subject was: Subject: =?GB2312?B?0rXT4NTavNLW0LvyzfiwybeitefX09PKvP7Q+7SrzfjVvteswLTDv9TCyc/N?= =?GB2312?B?8tSqyMvD8bHS?= Note that there were *two* continuation lines, not one. Apparently your virus-checking software doesn't implement this part of RFC 2822 correctly. Since the Date: was at the other end of the damage, as was the correct Content-Type, the Chinese-language text would be misinterpreted. Perhaps IMP and Mulberry objected to 8-bit text being called "us-ascii". Otherwise, it looks like a perfectly valid Chinese language message, for whatever level of "valid" that spam can be. I'll be able to offer you more analysis if you can provide me with more data, but maybe what I've offered you here is a start. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
