Sorry, I should have said "send-region in process.c". The file-error is thrown there, in the C source. > Maybe we could create an isolated test case which doesn't involve gnus > and dovecot.

I'd be surprised if the error is that general; much more people would have to see it in this case. I just tried again at work, and here it doesn't cause any problems, even with a 10MB attachment. I know you're getting the error while posting to a local IMAP server, but in my case it looks like a speed/timing issue. -David
