I have also noted that lines that have multiple colons in them will have
them stripped out.
i.e.
::::4test
becomes
: 4test
and even
4:::::test
becomes
4: test
strangeness indeed.
not only does it add a colon but it also adds a space after the colon
and strips multiple colons. Further packet analysis show that this
format is the format presented by dbmail-imapd to the client.

Has anyone else seen a strange imap behavior in the 2.0 release

It seems that in the body of my emails I am getting a colon added to
the beginning of each line.

It only effects messages that are processed through the mailer. (i.e.
not messages copied internally through imap, like copying to a Sent
folder) And I have done a packet analysis and the packets are not
being presented to the mailer (exim) by my client (mozilla) nor are
the being presented via lmtp to dbmail-lmtpd by my mailserver. This
still shows up even in rc3. I believe it may be associated with
the rfcheader_dump function in imaputil.c line 727.
The colons do not show up in the messageblks table entries for the
messages.
I suppose this could be a mozilla issue. I will do some work with
ethereal and see if I can capture a imap stream to see what is being
passed to my inbox.
Thanks
Robert
