Easily Fixed (i think already in 1.1)(unless you are using 1.1) (The version
of 1.1 we use doesn't have this trouble,maybe we've patched it)

I've not seen this problem before

Outlook Express is too smart for its own good. Its very stirck in what is a
valid IMAP header. (Outlook on the other hand is not)
The Imap server is still a little broken in a number of messages which
hopefully I (or someone else) can look into. (maybe 1 out of 1000 messages
won't show ) and about 1 in 100 will show incorrect From (different problems
in different places see below)

The problems are easily seen. Turn on logging in outlook express and
download via imap someone's mailbox and the log file will show you the
problems (the IMAP lines are not formatted 100% correctly for some people's
email addresses)

show_address_list is broken partly

When a from address is for example     Craig, Whitmore [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ie the imap server will turn this into    Craig@,Whitmore
