Note, the pop3 server (or rather, 3 | different pop servers that I tested) did not become confused. It was | the local mail client (gnus) that got confused. Then the bug is in Gnus. QED. [...] | Could you please explain - how on Earth do you *know* what the "spool | file on the server" (if by the server you mean the machine running the | pop3 you got the mail from) looks like? This info is certainly not | included in the pop3 protocol, is it? (narrow-to-region start end) (goto-char (point-min)) (if (not (or (looking-at "From .?") ; Unix mail (looking-at "\001\001\001\001\n") ; MMDF (looking-at "BABYL OPTIONS:") ; Babyl )) That is how I know. If any of those regexps are there at the beginning of the buffer, the spool is mbox, MMDF, or Babyl. If none of these are there, the POP server has (incorrectly) stripped that information from the message, and something must be inserted to replace it. The choice of generating faux SMTP envelopes was arbitrary. I probably had a good reason for that. | [...] Tell me that's not a bug. Show me the offending message in its entirety, including all of the headers and the envelope, and I will tell you exactly where the cause is. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v0.9.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE3AXsjgl+vIlSVSNkRAs+/AKDqYr8ord8XqM7B62bUTHcyT+rUgQCg16aS o3XSmKM/IaKIUNZGyICu0nE= =+1DP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Do not use Happy Fun Ball on concrete.
