ezmlm corrupting multiparts?

[Matthias Andree]

Hi,

I am experiencing difficulties with the mailing list when it comes to
attachments. It looks as though the first "--=-=-=" boundary line was
missing.

Adrian, could you have a look at this?

Full report below.


This noon, I sent a mail to David and Cc:'d the list. It's a Multipart,
reformime -i output without positions:

Here's the file in my outbox, stripping the body parts a bit:

And this is what the list returned, I retrieved this from the archive to
be sure it's not GMX. We can see the first boundary line is missing.
This means that what once constituted the first part of a mail now
becomes the MIME prologue and is hidden from view by MIME-aware mailers.
