There are 2 problems :
1- Why does sympa.pl crash ?
2- Why is this file created with this name ?

In order to fix the first one, we could test the content of this 
message. It is possible that it contains some weirdly built MIME , 
causing sympa to crash. Please copy this, and send us its content so 
that we can test it. You could also upgrade your Mime::tools CPAN library.

For the second one : Files in spool msg are created by sendmail aliases 
mailer prog (pipe in queue program) or web interface when using "post" 
via a list menu. We don't know how such a name can be produced. It 
souldn't be an incorrect listname anyway. Maybe by reading your message 
we could guess what produced it.
