After some major digging into the SM code I found the problem. Our support desk had asked me to allow them to see the size of the Emails in SM and sort by them.
Putting in the size was not an issue, however, I added a sort patch outlined on one of the SM mailing lists. Oddly, that is what broke these users. The stranger part, is that in looking at the code I have absolutely no idea why it broke it. Regardless, I removed it and all is back to normal. -- David A.
