I saw this issues when I used nnimap with a courier server, too. I'm currently testing nnimap with a dovecot server, because nnimap with the courier server was extremely slow, I'll report if they come up there, too. -- Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
