[Leica] OT: Weird e-mail issue

[John Nebel]

Nathan,

Others likely know a lot more about this, nevertheless, here is a weak attempt:

If you are using the native e-mail client on OS X, it may be worth trying 
Thunderbird as a test.  If TB works then you know to try further incantations 
with the native client based on the TB settings.  I think there may be bad 
assumptions in the client's design, especially when an upgrade (if that is what 
you might have done) breaks formerly working e-mail.

I've had much less trouble with an iPad (just works) than the native client on 
an OS X laptop, even with full control of the SMTP servers as well as the clients.
