Hey Cátia,

Don't be annoyed now :). Thanks Xavier and Stefano, by the way.

"Chunked encoded" translates, as you rightly did, into "codificado em 
blocos" (http://www.cert.br/certcc/advisories/CA-2002-09-br.html, 
somewhere in the text). As to "the body is malformed" we could go either 
with "o corpo está mal formatado" or "o body está mal formatado".

We chose to translate as "Não parece estar codificado em blocos ou o 
body está mal formatado", no translation of "body" since the sentence is 
so "l33t"  that whoever gets the message would probably understand it 
better were it not translated...

In general, and to the attention of Nikolay and probably Lloyd, maybe 
this message (and others of the same family) could read something a 
little more user-friendly. I don't mean to return to older mac's -11 
bomb errors, but still...

Cheers e um beijo

Zé
