Hi Joey, 
  It seems that this bug continues to appear. I was really busy the 
last weeks and could not do any debian work at all. Which menu item 
did you mean?
This one: "Configure the Mail Transfer Agent"?
If it may help, I just found out that the greek translation had a 
colon at the end (how that got in there I don't remember), but I 
removed it just now. If I find time I'll make a package and test it 
on my vmware test system.
