No matter how many times we write "original source,"
it's apparently being posted in invisible ink,
since no example of even a single such message's "source"
has yet been displayed, while such expressions as
"what more detail do you need" continue to be posted instead,
even though you also say you _can_ get the original source.
If you're just too shy to post even one example,
you can save any true original source to disk,
name the file anything.eml, and open that file
using Thunderbird, Outlook Express, or other programs.
If the file is renamed anything.mim,
then any copy of Winzip can also parse its individual parts.
Finally, we can test-feed original source
(possibly modified to fix a problem) to Eudora,
by putting a copy into its "spool" folder as an "RCV" file.

How come the thought that "the _sender_ could be the cause"
hasn't yet arisen? Various examples of mail have been seen,
over time, which either have broken headers or violate the
defined internet message standards. Some programs defensively
correct some potential errors, but Eudora tends to be a
"fussy eater," and won't touch certain bad-tasting food.
In one recent case I managed to _send_ something using Eudora
which Eudora itself could receive correctly, yet it knocked Gmail
for a loop -- you never know for sure what some bad input will
lead to, until you put it under the microscope and find out for sure
what's swimming around inside.
Let's hope it was all spam,
then it doesn't even matter what it was,
which at this rate we are not going to find out anyway.
