This email itself was also corrupted. Below is what was sent. Good thing 
multiple copies are saved by exmh.

Admitting I'm wrong: sending copies of my last reply to you back to myself, 
again and again, three times, I've managed to reproduce the corruption you 
are talking about.

header. Trying to reply                       ^^^^^^^^^
Here it is, nine additional bytes of garbage.

In another instance about 500 bytes were removed. I can reproduce the 
corruption at will now.

The EXDEV patch is applied. Block_cloning is disabled.
