Except, it broke on *old* emails, ones that were previously working, and
normal for the last four months, and it works with *new* email, that are
still coming from the same server.  Emails that I'd download in June 
suddenly stopped reading correctly :-)  And this wasn't following any sort
of apt-get upgrade, though I tried that to fix it.  Other Ideas?

Thanks,

D.A.Bishop

P.S.  Ingo, thanks for the heads up on the passwd's, and for any of you
freaks out there that thought it would be l33t to hack my box, well, 
ththththththhh. I got there before you did.... :-)
