It looks like absurdly long lines can confuse zwgc. These lines from
a mail notification message I got demonstrate the problem for me:
From: "Marcia Macedo .. v .. [memoranda alter electronic sparta triangle tempest ali element bloch return holst nero slip australia wallet pelt flexible zip theory collegial gallon johnsen centigrade canvasback crockery selma stuffy devotee franciscan parental drowsy ]", <wgvxaufpllwep@msn.com>
Subject: Esquente sua vida - afrodisiaco ... gt [mckinley baltic woodlawn degenerate allegate convocate greenware cb ancestor iceberg fanny locomotory drake ahmadabad bloodstain egghead negligible potion tabulate helvetica infertile jackanapes dilapidate atalanta twirly patterson kirk berne allstate charta install pistachio ]
To: raeburn@mit.edu
The "from" line displays as
<garbage>
"nv"
<garbage>
" crockery selma...drowsy ]\", <wgv"
<one garbage position>
"aufpl"
<garbage>
"ter electronic sparta " ... rest is okay until it runs off the
right side of the screen
The <garbage> bits aren't any proper character from the font, though
some of them look like they could be the result of trying to combine
two characters in some way.
At first glance, it looks like from "centigrade" on, it's overlaid on
the first part of the line; where one section of the line has a space,
the corresponding part of the other section is displayed okay.
The "subject" line is similarly garbled, but the "to" line is fine.
