Tried your hint with .htaccess. It didn't change the settings and there was
no appache error. So I changed the setting in php.ini. The result is now
'register_globals Off Off'. With this setting, some plugins are now working
fine, i. e. notes, select_range or newmail (option item can now be viewed
and edited every time).

And now I can read more messages but there are some unreadables, too. And
the unreadable ones are mostly the newest ones. Even locally sent mails
are unreadable! But when I use the answer button I can read the originally
unreadable mails. It's confusing to me.

I don't know what to do with the patch. The pynix based system does not have
the patch program
