For several months I've been using Elm (currently 2.3 PL5)
without problems.  Over the weekend I ran into something I
don't understand.  For the first time I sent a message to
a primary address *and* a cc: address (both fully qualified
Internet addresses).  I'm configured to keep a copy of the
outgoing mail in a file with the (main) address logon name.

Neither recipient got the message body; all they got was
the header.  At first I thought I must have failed to
insert the body text (dumb but easy enough mistake; I
prepare my messages offline on another machine), but on
checking in the outgoing archive, the message body is
present and complete, proving that I did insert it correctly.

I dimly remember someone mentioning something like this
a while back, but didn't pay much attention, thinking it
didn't apply to me.

Help, anyone?
