[Esd-l] Anyone seen this when receiving Mac Word files??

[Jim Bucks]

Hello,

Has anyone seen the following when receiving Macintosh MS Office files? 
Here are the details:

   - We're using procmail version 1.137
   - Senders appear to be using Mac's while my in-house
     users generally use PC's.
   - Senders appear to be using AOL or Earthlink or a local 
     ISP to send the documents.
   - The sender is only sending a single ".doc" file (to 
     the best of their knowledge).
   - It appears the de-fanging is getting confused shortly
     after starting the de-fanging process (and then starting
     over again).
   - As a result, the .doc files cannot be opened in MS Word.
     See the multiple de-fanging headers in the file 
     extract below.

We've had this off-and-on for about a year.  Last year we suspected AOL
(Mac / Word / AOL) doing something "funcky" to the formatting on the way
through AOL's mail servers, but it's now looking like it's more of a
Macintosh / MS issue causing Procmail to get confused.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Jim
