Hi,

We have a lot of problems with customers using
Outlook Express, but this is due to Microsoft not
being conform to the standards. It had nothing to do
with small or large mails. For example if you have a mail
which contains a line with only a "." Outlook cannot retrieve
the message. (this is 100% reproducible)
