Hi there K.,

Have you read the previous thread "New Win32 installer"?  The latest pan.git
from your git repo is tacking on random garbage to the quoted text when I'm
composing a reply.  (See above for an example of the garbage.)

I've git-bisected down to these two commits (which seem to go together):

    FIXED: Bug541676 port to GMime 2.4

    Initial update to gmime-2.4.

I'm guessing that in mime-utils.cc:1152
body = pan_g_mime_part_get_content (GMIME_PART (mime_part), &len);
the value of 'len' is too large by a small random number, which has the
effect of grabbing random garbage chars from the end of the buffer.

Just my speculation after a few glasses of vino, so your guess is better
than mine :o)

Thanks for your help.
