[Mimedefang] RECOMMENDED: Apply this patch to MIME::Tools

[David F. Skoll]

Hi,

Marco Berizzi found strange behaviour with attachments of type
"message/rfc822".  I recommend applying the following patch to
the "Parser.pm" file in MIME::Tools.  It prevents MIME::Tools from
misinterpreting a single-part message/rfc822 part as an embedded
multipart mail message.

Regards,

David.
