I reported this bug almost a year ago (can't find it in the BTS though),
and got an answer from upstream, through the Debian maintainer, saying
that Sylpheed follows the relevant RFC's scrupulously and they *won't*
change the code just because the Debian digests are broken.
So I think this must be solved by changing the divider line in the
Debian digests, but somehow I don't see that happening :)
That made me change my subscription to the real lists instead of the
digest ones, and I'm happy with the move. List digests make it difficult
to reply to specific messages, it's nearly impossible to follow threads,
and the savings in bandwidth aren't all that relevant.
