I haven't used SimpleMail in a bit - I have a love-hate relationship with
doing mail on my Newton. Maybe now that I've switched to my backup 2100
that doesn't have the jaggies (just a minor alignment problem), I'll go
back to SM. But I get a lot of mail, and I'm really used to managing it
through Pine. Anyways.
I used to get this problem with SM as well. Usually it was because I had
some spam with an evil text encoding (like EUC-KR or BIG5) that SM didn't
like because it had weird characters in it. I don't think there's a
workaround.

Do you use a '61 fixer? I recommend Heaven or Hell:

I have it set to only check at power-off, which works great for me. I
very seldom get a '61.

Use pages that don't have them :) PlinkIT! is a good site that has
"light" links for PDAs:
