At first we thought that the problem occurred only when he replied to a
post, but that proved not to be true. Then we thought there was a
line-wrap problem, but that theory also fell by the wayside. Here,
courtesy of my co-owner (who has been working on the problem more directly
and has subscribed to the digest to monitor it), is what we know/have
tried:
"We already know that ...
- It's not something that happens when lines exceed any
particular number of characters. Charlie has tried
manually wrapping lines at 30 characters.
- It's not related to replying to a message. I've seen
the problem when he's replied, when he's created a new
message and pasted in quoted text, and when he's
created a blank new message.
- Every message that comes with a warning that there
is an error in the headers seems also to be base 64,
but I believe there have been some base 64 messages
that had no warning about header errors."
