[Download RAW message or body]

Maybe I'm missing something, but no, the raw message sitting on my POP
server it's different (on the headers I mentioned of course) from the
one in the kmail inbox. That message was generated on yet another
server, so:


	   bad MIME	       bad MIME
sendmail ------------> qmail ----------------\
					     |
	     SMTP		   POP	     |
					     |
					     |
	             good MIME 	     	     |
	             Inbox <-----Kmail <-----/		


(I suck at ASCII art, so bear mith me :-)

Incidentally, downloading that message with Evolution doesn't change
those headers, and that's how we found the bug in our app.

Thanks a lot.

    KMail doesn't alter messages in any way except by adding some custom 
    headers. So the answer to all your questions is 'no'.
    
    I guess some MTA fixed the broken messages before KMail received it. You 
    can try this by fetching a sample message with fetchmail.
