Uhm, yes, and all of this is present in the attachment? You're not being
fooled by your mail client which renders the attachment, right? ;-) Try
the raw view of the message/rfc822 attachment, not just the text/plain
body.

The whole attachment is only 1.8kb (even with all received headers), and
even so, the buffer which crm_mon allocates is 2048 bytes, so still
space.

I should have been more precise. The SMTP host is a postfix server. And
no such mangling is going on in between.
