Yes, but unfortunately the bug report listing the specific one has long
since expired, but here's the changelog:
elm-me+ (2.4pl25ME+39-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release. Various small bugfixes and Y2K compliance
updates. See the upstream changelog for details.
* Updated FTP site in copyright file
* No longer uses 8BITMIME or BINARYMIME options. It seems that some
non-sendmail mailers aren't up-to-date enough to handle them, which
isn't really Elm's fault, but to be compatible with those mailers,
I have turned off the passing of -B8BITMIME or -BBINARYMIME to mailers.
Elm now does those conversions internally. This closes bug
#17103.

I think it does a disservice to people if Debian's default mail reader does
not work with Debian's mail servers.
