nnfolder bug in Oort 0.15

[Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor]]

Hi there,

just the bother day, a "B c" from an nnml group to an nnfolder group
created a split "From " line, roughly like so:

From xxx@xxx.xxx.de  Tue Feb 25 16:26:30
 2003

(It was longer in the original.)

Unfortunately, the nnfolder backend seems to be unable to read these
mails back in---they don't appear in the Summary or the .nov files.

Could you post the original article in nnml group?

Not verbatim---it's a confidential message.  What aspects are you
specifically interested in?  (In the original headers in the nnml
group, none of the relevant headers was split across several lines.)

The headers. If you can reproduce the bug after replacing the
confidential characters with "x", the pseudo message will be good
enough for debugging.

Turns out I was wrong---Gnus would only *display* the X-From-Line
header (in the original nnml group) in one line like so:

X-From-Line: xxxxxxxx.xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xx  Tue Feb 25 16:26:30 2003
Return-Path: <xxxxxxxx.xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xx>

However, the actual file on the disk has

X-From-Line: xxxxxxxx.xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xx  Tue Feb 25 16:26:30
 2003
Return-Path: <xxxxxxxx.xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xx>

(I can reproduce the phenomenon with the xxx's.)

Thanks for looking into this!
