[NTLK] SimpleMail decoding with error -10061

Recently, I have been starting to get -10061 errors during the decoding
of certain messages using SimpleMail. Has anyone else been experiencing
this? I'm have SysPatch installed and have been automatically running
Heaven or Hell at regular intervals, but something is making the
SimpleMail decoding function burp in the middle of mail retrieval. My
guess is that some of the craploads of spam I'm receiving has corrupted
or invalid headers or may be using some weird hybrid Unicode character
encoding which is choking SimpleMail in the process.

The SimpleMail page mentions a SimpleMail debug log. Does anyone know how
to access this? Perhaps it could shed some light on the situation, as the
-10061 error doesn't invoke BugTrap. (Oh, nevermind... I just discovered
the Debug version of the software on the download page...)

I've cc'd Simon Bell about this issue as well.
