fetchmail or ipopd messed up my emails?



hi,

usualy i get lots of emails from mailinglist, and netscrape -messenger
is quite blocked untill all mails are downloaded. so i installed current
ipopd, fetched my mail with "fetchmail $PROVIDER" from provider to local
mda (exim). now i tried (actually i did...) to retrive emails from local
ipopd with netscrape and very much mails got messed up, just like the
one attached. subjects, sender, dates bodies, just all mixed up.

uups, just took a look on my  mbox in /var/spool/mail. looks ok. reading
it with mutt is ok too, even on mails that where messed up when received
in messenger. so i suggest problem with popd (2001beta010722debian-4,
oh, it's beta..;)?

any idea what went wrong? 

btw: where does "From
bounce-debian-user=gerhard.kroder=t-online.de@lists.debian.org " come
from? Seems to be on all messed up mails.

(just did an upgrade, so my woody/testing is current.)

You could always set up a tarpit:

What for? If I do so with a browser, I'll presumably get redirected. But
the virus wouldn't, because IT ISN'T A BROWSER AND DOESN'T SUPPORT HTTP
REDIRECTS.

Let's be clear on how redirects work. If someone requests default.ida
