See that blank line up there, 'tween the Xref and Message-ID headers?
It's an error.

Interesting, even though I have no idea of its significance or practical
effect. Curiously, Hogwasher's headers for that message contain no blank
line, nor is it present on the newsreader function in Entourage.
Well, the RFCs say that a message header is terminated by a line that is
empty _or_ consists of only whitespace (i.e. logically empty), so
software written to that stops thinking and just tries to display what
follows, but as the "Content-Type" header appears in the body of the
message it is not parsed so the message is not displayed correctly.

Does it mess up your ability to view the text and/or picture?
Yes, the messages are malformed, Thunderbird just sees as a
"message/partial" attachment.

It looks like it only appears in the *first* part of a multi-part
posting, single-part postings do *not* show the problem.

Hmm, I'll rephrase that to "two part posts", I wonder what happens with
three?

I've reported it to the "Hogwasher" developers, let's see what, if
anything, happens.

In my experience, Asar are exceedingly prompt at responding. I once reported
a very rare problem with Hogwasher and they diagnosed it and replied to me
within 24 hours. Mind you, my experience is limited as normally Hogwasher
just works.
Hopefully they will respond to a message from a non-user. (No response
as yet.)
