I don't think we were suggesting that it's a fault at exim.org, but
I see this quite a lot when receiving MIME mails that have
charsets different from my own. (but not everytime) I've never seen it
on a mail that didn't have a MIME header.

The mail that you just sent (which was similarly trashed) had the following
MIME headers:

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Whereas I'm using ISO-88wotsit.

Could be the Cisco PIX's, but I instinctively doubt that, a lot of people
use that feature. We've disabled it now. So will see if there's any
difference. I can't see why it'd care about charsets or MIME ever though...

We have two machines: mx1.boo.com and mx2.boo.com running Exim 3.02
