Um... what's up with this?

Oooo... One Additional Data Point.

Just before the delivery, I call formail to insert a header, and ...
the string ends with [>"], and ...

The problem only manifests itself on items with a three-digit PID.
Items with a four-digit PID just have the ["] character.

Consider:

        .IN-apple/cur/1069720698.632_2.>"lucite.kapu.net:2,S
        .IN-apple/cur/1069722864.1221_2."lucite.kapu.net:2,S
        .IN-apple/cur/1069757115.10065_2.lucite.kapu.net:2,S

I think that formail is either corrupting a buffer, or the delivery portion of the code is not paying attention to the length of a string at some point, and is just ASSUMEing that it is 5, when sometimes it is 4 or 3. Or less.

For now, I think I'm going to try and find something to add to the end of that string.

Aloha mai Nai`a!
