[Macpartners] Possible Problem with Mail and 10.3.9

[Duncan Kincaid]

had found this problem on one mac which was updated to 10.3.9 with the 
smaller (delta) updater. other macs updated with 10.3.9 COMBO update 
fared just fine. i installed the combo update on the problematic mac, 
and problem went away immediately after.

would be curious to know if this fixes anyone else's problems.
