Re: [Evolution] Evo splitting messages in odd ways

The messages are probably being split on "From ..." lines as the BSD

If your MTA host is running Solaris or some other system that instead
uses the similar-but-not-at-all-compatable mbox format that SunOS came
up with (that of Content-Length headers), then this sort of thing will
happen.

You can read more about this here:

Anyone who thinks that religion is Sooo Eeevil should remember:
- The number of Soviet citizens that the "religion is the opiate
of the masses" Soviets killed or let starve is between 20M and
60M.
- The number of Chinese killed or allowed to starve by the
Chinese Communists is estimated to be as many as 66M.
Now *that* is True Evil.
