this:

--------------------
This is broken for two reasons. First of all, I believe that the user
had already seen the message which was inserted into the mail, and
second, because of all of the garbage at the bottom.
What should have happened:
It shouldn't have had garbage at the bottom, and the message probably
shouldn't have been inserted at all.
I am using the version of olcr in /usr/athena/olcr, and I have never
had any problems like this before.
