Following up to my own posts, I have narrowed it down to two bugs in
mail-source.

The first one is easy to fix.  In mail-source.el, there are a couple of
(partial) forms that look like this:

        (if (fboundp prescript)
            (funcall prescript)
and
        (if (fboundp postscript)
            (funcall postscript)

They need to be quoted:

        (if (fboundp 'prescript)
and
        (if (fboundp 'postscript)

otherwise the interpreter tests the fboundness of the string instead of the 
variable.

The second is a bit tougher for me to track down.  Colons in the program
string are converted to spaces.  That is, "1110:peorth.gweep.net:110"
becomes "1110 peorth.gweep.net 110".  Escaping with backslashes does not
appear to fix the problem (sigh).

Possibly more bugs to be found as I experiment.
