not formed correctly.  The subject is blank.  The message body is blank or has
misc. characters in it.  I have sent the mail message to seamonkey client and

The problem doesn't seems to be constant, I saw it again on my Mac when sending
plain text message...

Ok, I found the problem. It was an error in nsFIleSpecMac.cpp when calling ResolveAlias on a File that doesn't exist.

ResolveAlias() is called every time by the constructor of nsFileSpec.

Initial testing shows this is ok in the 6/15 pm release build.  Need to do more
testing before marking verified.

Verified in the June 15 Mac Seamonkey respin (1999061514) tested on PPC 9600/300
running Mac OS 8.5.1.

Verified messages sent to POP, IMAP, and Newsgroup test account work.  Messages
were sent through correctly.  It contain a Subject and valid message body.
Viewing the Page Source on Communicator client looks good.

Thanks Jeff for fixing this problem....onward :)
