I am running 'cvs update' now. However that will only work for outgoing messages. The problem is that we are running Obtuse smptpd 2.0 which INTENTIONALLY cuts message headers to length 255. (this restriction is not documented, and hard coded in the source). Our sysadmins have promised a recompile after they have made sure we never depend on that behaviour for security. I wish they stopped using it. It is also forcing unnecessary 8bit->QP conversions. We have been running it if for quite some time now (the log files have comments about the lines being cut from at least June), so I am not sure why we are noticing the problem only now. Maybe I should lobby for message-cater-to-broken-inn to be on for news only. Jan
