Can you point out some specific mails you sent from Thunderbird and from
Squirrelmail? I looked around, and the only broken ones I saw were from
Hotmail. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

Anyway, I use Thunderbird most of the time and Squirrelmail
occasionally, and I haven't noticed a problem with my own mails.
