More of the same problem...
Here's the deal, 1.6.1, with SOME mail servers, chops off the first line of all
incoming messages. This throws off the MIME decoding, and since the message
doesn't get properly decoded, HTML mail etc. doesn't work right... This has
been FIXED in 1.7.x ... so I suggest you download the tarball from
Sourceforge...

Thank you! I am rapidly approaching a 1.8.0 release (I know, I have said this
many times...) I just started working at (surprise) Mail.com and so I am doing
a ton of mail related coding these days.... My co-workers are all keen on
CSCMail, and so things are rolling right along (notice the commit today? hehe)
