I had isolated the message that caused the behavior and was trying to send
it along as an attachment. The debian mail server kept kicking it back to
me. If you have a public key to encrypt the message, then I could send it
to the BTS and would imagine that the server would accept it then. Or if
you know of another, possibly a more standard, way of passing the message
to you, then we could do that.
