Its the FreeBSD Ports version, 0.9.8claws, nothing else. I've noticed
there is a newer Ports collection version, so I'll update tonight.

Ah, but I've also noticed the current FreeBSD ports version is 16.4,
looks like another package to update :]

I run bogofilter on email as it comes through to qmail (using
QMAILQUEUE). I made a copy of all my email over night and I've managed
to find one with the corrupted subject line. The problem is a DOS line
return in the subject line, which (I'm guessing) SC is having any issue
with.

I've attached a tgz of an email in case others are interested.

Thanks heaps for your time
