I have a similar problem wiith certain multi-part MIME emails.
What happens is that - as far as I can tell - Anomy sometimes inserts a
blank line into a second-level MIME multipart header (one within the email
body), immediately before the boundary is defined, so taking the boundary
definition out of the second level header. Subsequent instances of the MIME
boundary are then not recognised and the MIME is effectively broken.
This behaviour is as far as I can tell independent of Spam Assassin, in that
it happens to emails not recognised as spam. I am also doing a few other
things to mail (via procmail), such as putting it through |cat-s (which
reduces multiple blank lines to a single blank line), |sed to cut spaces and
>s from the start of lines, but I cannot see how this could be responsible.
Strange thing is how this regularly happens to mail from some people, but
not from others. I think Anomy may have some kind of sensitivity to certain
MIME formats. Any insights welcome...

Subject: [anomy-list]: Attachments get corrupted
I use Procmail, SpamAssassin and Anomy for sanitizing mail.
From time to time a mail gets corrupted when going through the mail system:
the attachments of the mail do not remain attachments but get into the mail
body (and show up base64-encoded in the mail clients).
The corrupted mails are always forwarded mails (i.e. someone attaches an
other mail to his own, the first having also attachments.), and always are
marked by Spam Assassin as spam.
Is it SpamAssassin or Anomy that corrupts these mails?
Did anyone find a similar problem?
