Peder,

you might want to start a new thread on this: If it really troubles you
odds are others also have that problem.

For a start you could investigate the difference between mails sent from
the Comedian versus mail sent from Outlook (probably the latter's
headers look as if they were meant to be funny... this would be the
first time that I see Outlook produce mails more compatible than another
mailer program :-/ )

The hint might be in different places: The exact settings of the
MIME/multipart stuff might be the hinge point.

IIRC you can use an external script to mail-forward new voice messages.
You could try some mime-capable mailer to do that for you, perhaps they
get it working.

I also own an MDA (clone, some Korean HTC iirc, but the company logo is
nowhere to see, just the network provider logo was there until it rubbed
off in everyday wear and tear). As I do not use it to read mail I do not
know wether this problem could be repeated here. Perhaps you could give
a guide how to reproduce it? (I _do_ use Squirrelmail on that device to
access my courier imap server holding voice mails - but that will not
count for this problem).

Best regards
Anselm
