Archive all the mail coming in ("Archive Mail =" will do the job just 
fine), and when you find a message that has been broken, send me (off 
list) a compressed version of the original mail before MailScanner got 
its mitts on it, so I can try to reproduce it given the original raw 
message.

If it's only working correctly for 90% of mail, it won't take you long 
to find a good simpe example of one it breaks.
