Sylpheed too....Re: possible kmail virus

[Matthew Carpenter]

I just had this happen in Sylpheed, oddly enough.  The new messages appeared
without subject or sender.  If I look at the message and the headers I can SEE
it all, but Sylpheed didn't like it.  I try it from a different machine and it
works.  Shut down the bad Sylpheed and restart it and it still does it. 
Finally, after several iterations of this it cleared itself up, like it had
cached the bad information.  But man was I scared for a little bit.

IMAP server hiccup?  And Sylpheed probably cached the bad results or
something.
