Re: Gnus5, procmail, and reading mail lists.

[mdb@cdc.noaa.gov (Mark Borges)]

Does nnml understand the evil SYSV Content-Length header?

I just had what should have appeared as one message split into
two. I'm not sure it was Gnus' fault, as I didn't check the procmail
.spool file before Gnus deleted it. Also, the second message, which
was apparently included in the first, was very old (dated from 1985 --
hmm, on second thought, I remember 1985 pretty well) -- maybe the
headers have changed since then?

Anyway, I cat'd the two back together, and uuencoded them into a file
`nnml.bug' (in an attempt to protect the headers from being
corrupted). Notice that the first contains an X-content-length header
equal to 1344, which is larger than the first article. 

I'll try to remember to check the mailing list archive for this group
(xemacs-beta) to see how the article was originally sent. Or perhaps
there are people on this list who are also on xemacs-beta who saw the
same thing?
