I dont have a solution, because I can not programm.

Anyway I will tell you what happens today:

I write a mail (one page). I got back the answer (one page with text) and
wont print out this. I see 18 (!) empty pages.

No problems with egroupware (which is based on Horde) and of course no
problem with outlook.

I look in the header and I find: "X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.1283)"
