IMail is not perfect and I suspect that unless this happens very often on a range of message types, that this is related to a bug in IMail.

If you noticed, the message that you shared with the list was only a partial message, although it looks much more substantial after Declude adds it's headers.  I see this stuff all the time, especially from spam networks like Wholesalebandwidth.  Most of these just litter my spool, however for some reason IMail goes ahead and processes many of them.  They almost all generally end the same way, with a broken Message-ID and no To, From or Subject headers.  I believe that this is the product of a common error in a particular piece of spamware..

Here's what I think is happening...I believe that you probably have an IMail rule that is verifying specifically data located in the header.  Since this message has no body (signified by a double line break after the headers), and the headers are munged, IMail may be experiencing a parsing error and is unable to check your rule against the header.

It may be possible that Scott could fix this with Declude inserting extra line breaks in this special situation so that the IMail rules would work, but only if it is related to not having double line breaks.  Of course Ipswitch could also fix this and in reality it is their problem if I am correct.  If this just happens with munged messaged with no bodies, I'm very likely to be right about this, otherwise I'm very likely to be wrong about it :)

Not sure if this would really work, but you could send it to a separate
mailbox using the ROUTETO function by putting
[EMAIL PROTECTED]??? Will this work if it is to the same user?
Might be a way around the problem?

Why not use the command in Declude to do this directly?  In looking at
    

  
the manual it appears to be ROUTETO <email address>.  You could do 
this for
    
the
  
WEIGHT20 Piece.
    


I'm not sending all WEIGHT20 to a separate e-mail address.  I'm shooting
it to a sub mailbox.  For this I would use the MAILBOX action, and that
requires PRO which we do not have.....
