Found my old bugreport, its #132405 (from Feb the 5th) and its status is
"Forwarded to upstream software authors". This implies that the persons
responsible for bugs against lists.debian.org decided it was a Sylpheed
bug, not a problem with the mailing lists digests, right?
How do we insist this issue be solved within Debian (since it's the poor
choice of boundary delimiter that is causing the problems with the
digests)?
