The problem seems to lie on my side ;-( From what I found out so
far, those buggers who administer the mail servers here (if you
can call the M$-crap a server at all) switched their Exchange-
toys to a newer version which not only messes up the headers
but also wraps lines at pos 75. Now the deltas arrive like this:

CTM_MAIL BEGIN src-7.0895.gz 1 1
H4sIAGI5VksCA8VZ+28bNxL+2foreG5R2HnIfD8ctEASO70AqVs0PlyvdweBT3sRaVe3u0riHvq
/

f
3rxHY9/PJl1v+0WHYAYfGsk50h4bE3RyRmEeXJSBGSqtY1GHEKlCSQdtVBJEU8yoEEQIzw1LQhj
L

Normally, they get automatically piped to ctm_rmail which can't
work with this and throws them away. Now that I've switch off
ctm_rmail, I can find the whole mess in my inbox...

Sorry for the noise, I really didn't realise what's going
here originally...

Thanks,
