I suppose it could be a problem with my e-mail client.  I did notice
that it suddenly stopped showing certain messages, but I have no idea
what the cause might be.  I haven't dealt with it, as I have other
priorities.  However, I'm still able to see most messages. 
Occasionally, I have to open messages in gEdit.  The messages usually
appear there with no problems.  This time, it looks like a hex dump. 
I'll shoot you a copy later.
