I have tried this with email with 550 characters in a single line. The 
spool file is clean but when popper delivers it, it causes binary junk to 
be inserted right after the long line. I have had numerous customer 
complaints on this also. I  have reverted back to 3.1 but because the speed 
increase 4.0 has shown, I hope the Qpopper team fixes this quickly.
