Re: [Evolution] Evolution Mangles Attachments?

["Johan Lund" <johan lund frobozz se>]

Hello,

I'm having the exact same problem with attachments as Tracy. I'm running
Evo 1.2.2, but the problem has always been with me since Evo 1.0.8. The
headers of the enclosed attachemnt is truncated, and it's only when
downloading mail from a Novell NetMail server (server at @home.se in
Sweden).

Is this reported as a bug? Is it a bug? Is it Novell NetMail thats making
funny things behind the sceens? Who is to blame? :-)

If anyone whants I can give you concrete emails as examples.

Cheers,
/Johan.
