[imp] IMP-CVS Compose-Sending Error

[Steve Siegelman]

Thanks for the reply Eric,

The only thing that puzzles me is that I did not upgrade PHP.  I am running PHP 
4.1.1 from the beginning.  

The problem only started after applying the latest CVS code.  The uploads were 
working fine before the maintenance.
