        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.

        Never mind.  ;-)=)
