We see this mesagge pretty often too, alas while this is the same
symptom, it's not actually related to EAN generating one of these
bogus message files (it's the result of receiving one, but EAN seems
to handle this error correctly, with other words the error doesn't
seem to propagate).

I assume that the problem is actually caused when EAN writes the
message to disk; if you look at the stuff at the end of the message
it normally is a copy/leftover from the beginning of the message.
