It could also be when debbugs is sending a reply including the original message. Right now that happens by just tacking it on to the end - in the brave new world it should really be a separate MIME part instead with its own content-type and encoding. If debbugs is just forwarding a message you've sent, then it preserves the original MIME headers (well, at least in the instance currently running on bugs.debian.org, I haven't looked at 2.3-4). Altering them, e.g. by adding a Content-Transfer-Encoding, would be a bad idea; that should only apply to parts generated by debbugs. Jonas, it would be useful if you said exactly which mails Courier complains about. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
