That's the last version by Folkert. And since you are using the Win32
version, it should be easy to upgrade to the latest version by me! ;)

(It's more or less a drop in upgrade)

As I said FMail only looks for kludges at the begining of lines. So I don't
think that what you saw had anything to do with FMail. I might try to test
it myself though. It should be easy to create some packet files for
testing, that have kludges in the middle of a line...

Bye, Wilfred.
