There are no other log messages. Here are the log messages 
associated with the last test:

[Wed Aug 03 00:31:44 2011] [error] [client 150.101.114.91] 
FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/usr/local/rt4/sbin/rt-server.fcgi"
[Wed Aug 03 00:31:44 2011] [error] [client 150.101.114.91] 
FastCGI: server "/usr/local/rt4/sbin/rt-server.fcgi" stderr: 
[Tue Aug  2 14:31:44 2011] [error]: Couldn't find sender's 
address (/usr/local/rt4/sbin/../lib/RT/Interface/Email/Auth/MailFrom.pm:74)
[Wed Aug 03 00:31:44 2011] [error] [client 150.101.114.91] 
FastCGI: server "/usr/local/rt4/sbin/rt-server.fcgi" stderr: 
[Tue Aug  2 14:31:44 2011] [error]: Could not record email: 
Could not load a valid user (/usr/local/rt4/share/html/REST/1.0/NoAuth/mail-gateway:75)

And I've included (below) a copy of the message I just sent to 
RT. (I tried sending it as an attachment but it bounced.)

If I send that same message as plain-text it makes it through 
and creates a ticket.

Thanks,
Charlie

This is a multi-part test of creating a ticket via email.
