The /only/ time this symptom occurred on my system the message was
unformatted by the mail server. The server started stripping the line
termination. PMMail compressed this string of characters into the header
section. If this occurs again, check to see if the problem is with the
message format, your system or PMMail. Open a message with a blank body.
Go to PMMail's /TEMP/ folder. Does <TEMP.HDR> and <TEMP.BOD> files exist?
If not, PMMail did not (or could not split the message when opened). Use a
text editor to view each file? Is only the header displayed in <TEMP.HDR> 
and only the message body displayed in <TEMP.BOD> . If yes the problem is
probably with PMMail. If not, the problem is probably with the message
format or your system.
