Hi all,

We're having a problem as of late with messages hanging Outlook/Outlook
Express (and have had reports from Eudora users as well).  The mail will
start to download to the mail client, but never complete, and eventually
the mail client gives the "the connection with the server timed out"
message.  Here is an example of a header from one of the messages (so far,
they are all spam):

Return-Path: <leison at t-online.de>
