I see that Julian, on the MailScanner list, didn't post back to the Evolution list so I'll relay what he indicated to me along over to here... It appears to be a bug in the MIME-Tools package and both Julian and I now have messages into the maintainer. The current MIME-Tools package isn't generating a \r\n termination like it's suppose to (it's only generating a \n) and it's encoding the CR as =0A when it encounters it. :-( Sooo... It's off Evolutions plate after all.
