Strange emails
[1/3] from: philb::upnaway::com at: 8-Aug-2003 12:08
Hi,
Having some problems with my emails .... my ISP mailserver seems to be inserting the
string "(null)" at the start of any emails I recieve (see below)? This seems to cause
import-email not to polpulate most of its fields.
(This isnt a Rebol problem, as checking the source of an email after receiving it with
outlook shows the same error.)
Is his a problem on my ISP's mailserver?? (This has only just started happening)
Anyone seen this before??
Below is the full text of an email I sent to myself
-----------

Maybe your ISP is installing some kind of filtering, anti-virus or
anti-spam software?

Hi Andrew,
Yeah ... just talked to my ISP ... they are installing SPAM filters.
Seemingly this inserted the extra 6 characters at the begining of the email that caused
import-email not to decode the emails correctly.
Anyway I have fixed up my mail reader so it it rmeoved the extrac characters if they
are there.
Cheers Phil
