If it was all spam, I wouldn't care, but the message I received the other day was a receipt of order from a commercial firm. The four messages I received yesterday were headed Re: [SLE] so I don't think they were spam either. They don't hang KDE, they are just unrecoverable--that is, there is no way to convert them back to English. (At least that I know of--I have tried forwarding them to my XP machine, but they are still unreadable, as is printed copy to the LaserJet.)
It should be possible to read a mail folder with a different program, without forwarding. For example, you could try mozilla (aka thunderbird, seamonkey or whatever), that usually does a good job with extrange char emails. You just have to simlink the mbox folder to another (new) one where mozilla can see it. I published the details of this in the old unofficial suse faq. Something like this: Mail/mbox <--- normal mbox folder mozilla-mail/mbox --> simlink to the above. mozilla-mail/mbox.msf empty (will be the index) This would work provided that particular email isn't broken. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
