    Thanks. This header and the previously posted body don't match.
I assume it's a mistake, and it comes from the other broken mail, right?
Anyway: This full header is completely broken, lacking any Content-Type,
Apple Mail tag, Received, and most fields out of Date/From/To/Subject
and those added by Mutt itself. No mystery it didn't display well, and
I even doubt the mail reached you in this form. However the enveloppe in
From_ is OK...

    So something destroyed the original header, probably on your side.
What? I'd first suspect:

 - Some evil procmail rule shortening headers.
 - Some evil "detacher" script.
 - Some evil mail archiving program like pipermail or such.

    Can you investigate in this direction? Such munging has to be
stopped from the beginning, there is no proper way to cleanup it
afterwards. BTW it's also quite possible that the broken special chars
in your mails come from the same munging.


Bye!    Alain.
