Any chance of upgrading to 2.0.x and verifying if recent versions still
have that issue?  (If you can't, I can offer to check this, if you send
me the entire mail, unaltered with all headers.)

If you can reproduce that bug reliably, please file a bug at
bugzilla.ximian.com and attach the message to it (the entire mail
including all headers).

FWIW, there won't be any bugfixes for 1.4.x, unless they do have a hight
security impact.
