Mark,
I have confirmed that the way I'm processing mailboxes is causing the MS
line endings (CR LF) to be converted to UNIX line endings (NL). I'm
guessing that this happens whenever the mail box is written to. So in one
case I add a custom 'Header' and in the other case when a message is
deleted (and therefore the mailbox is is rewritten?).
I have some more tests to do to determine if the problem is for Outlook
users (pop'in mail back) or if this explains some odd results I'm getting
with Mozilla Mail and messages not being treated as text/html after the
mailbox is accessed.

I'm going to see what I need to do to make sure writes are done using MS
conventions verses UNIX in the script itself rather than mucking around
in the Mailbox settings. Would this make sense?
