Pine and Elm may be talking in different ways to the MTA or feeding it 
different types of data.

I'd suggest that you make a full bug report, including version numbers 
of everything, log files with as much debugging information as
possible, a sample blank mail, and the like.  Try it with different
kernel versions, different libc versions, etc., replacing things one
at a time until the problem goes away.

Well, glibc2.1 is a *very* new introduction to unstable, and as such,
is, well, unstable.
