Well, this is odd.. I imported the "wrongMessage.txt" file into CSCMail and it
displayed correctly... So I think maybe the bug is in the mail transfer, not
the MIME decoding... when you get the message in CSCMail (via POP) it shows on
the list, but doesn't decode properly, right? if so, please do a "file"->"save"
on that message and send me that... this will let me see what is different in
the version POP downloaded via CSCMail and the version that xfmail downloads...
