So, I read your reply to my message yesterday. It came up fine, with header
information and everything. I didn't have time to pull the data, and thought to
myself "I'll get back to it later".  

Today, when bringing up this message to reply to it, the message header was
gone. Previous issues were in dove-general, and it appears to have spread to
dove-syncops, now.  I wonder if maybe DDMessageReader is doing something when
marking the message as read? I'm not actually sure how that works.

 I'm going to have to give that a shot. Thus far, I think the pattern seems to
be that the header disappears when the message is marked as read by the
recipient. I'm not 100% on that, though, I'll have to do some more digging.

here's my current chksmb -e output on dove-general and dove-syncops, the two
echos that I've seen the issue crop up.

After that, I tried a base fixsmb on dove-syncops, and here was the output:
