Sorry to hear that.

If you are using CVS HEAD, then yes.

It sounds like maybe you shouldn't be using CVS HEAD if you don't know
what the point is.

If you are using CVS HEAD, then you should probably have at least rudementary
programming skills.  If you don't have such skills, then you should be using
a release version of the CVS RELENG branch.

The basic idea is to edit the file

/var/www/html/horde-20030527/horde/lib/MIME/Part.php

and go to, say line 1061 and insert something like

        var_dump($this->getContents());

Hopefully that will print out to your screen or your error logs (depending
on how you have your logging configured) the stucture and contents of the
message in question.  Then you can provide us with that information (perhaps
edited if there is any sensitive info in it).

The other thing you might try, if you have not already, is just nuking it
all and re-installing it all from scratch.  Sometimes that helps.
