Mike,

the list appears to strip off binary attachments, and many mailers
declare attachments as binary regardless of the content.

Sorry for the inconvenience - but please send the logs to me
off-list/directly and I'll have a look and see if I can do something (at
least fixing the error message to match the situation, which it clearly
does not in your case).

Seems there is one corner case in the imap.c code that might be a logic
bug. A log would help identifying this.

Sorry again.

Best regards,
Matthias
