I'd hate to call this a bug report, for I am unable to supply much of
any helpful information.  Nevertheless, I will try.

It seems that Techmail v2.2 decided to turn the last 140 or so messages
of my inbox into gibberish before getting new mail.  It then proceeded
to get the mail and reparse the inbox.  When done parsing, I had 39
messages, the first 29, the 30th caoncatenated with an extra 280kb of
gibberish, and the recent, now incorporated mail.

I'm using a pb165, system 7.5, and will gladly supply other conditions,
but other than that I had a few standard extensions, a 68882, and
Autodoubler running, it was pretty standard.

While I first expected autodoubler (part of Symantec's DiskDoubler
package), it doesn't appear to have touched the file.  Furthermore, in
the past, when it has encountered an error it has warned me explicitly,
and it did not do that.

thanks,
