[Oberon] pcreceive.sh not working for files that are multiples of 255

[Felix Friedrich]

The Oberon Mailing List provides a rudimentary spam filter: from the 
list I get a spam indication mail and have to approve or reject a post 
manually.
In most cases the spam suspicion originates from a multipart header in 
the mail. I have now generally allowed multipart mail headers, which is 
why mails that used to appear a bit later (as also noticed earlier by 
Andreas) on the list, now appear promptly.
Of course, this does not influence your local spam filter but it might 
give a hint to what you might want to adapt.
