Hi all,

some time ago (message <87k5bqv5bc.fsf@thinkpad.tsdh.de> on ding) I had
problems when sending mails with big attachments (> 1 MiB or so).  To be
precise, the sending via SMTP works just fine, but I get the error from
the subject when Gnus tries to upload the message to my local IMAP
server because of the Gcc header.

In the thread starting with <87k5bqv5bc.fsf@thinkpad.tsdh.de> I said
that turning off imap logging (nnimap-debug, imap-log, imap-debug all
set to nil) solves the issue for me, but sadly that's not true.

I still get that error and for me its perfectly reproducible.  Here's an
example backtrace.

The local IMAP server hosting the Gcc-ed group is Dovecot v1.1.11.  I'm
not sure if part of the problem is on its side, but at least I can say
that it has no problems when offlineimap synces big messages from my
IMAP accounts to the local dovecot.

When the Gcc-upload fails, dovecot logs a line like this:

  dovecot: Feb 09 17:14:51 Info: IMAP(uni): \
           Disconnected in APPEND bytes=1992955/1144675

Could somebody please help me with this?

Bye,
Tassilo
