* pgnus 0.69 problem with long recipient list @ 1999-01-05 1:37 Doug Bagley 1999-01-05 3:50 ` Doug Bagley ` (2 more replies) 0 siblings, 3 replies; 7+ messages in thread From: Doug Bagley @ 1999-01-05 1:37 UTC (permalink / raw) Someone sent me an email with a long (30 recipients) To: header. pgnus 0.69 hangs reading this mail, but pgnus 0.66 doesn't. I spent some time fiddling around testing it, so I'm sure it's a real problem and not my allergy medicine causing hallucinations. Through a fumble finger mistake I lost the mail, and I'm unable to reproduce the problem just by faking up a similar one. It must have been some peculiar combination of the headers plus the long recipient list. If I can reproduce it again, I'll send a better report. Cheers, Doug -- To continue press any key.

The problem appears to have been Gnus thinking it had found another message while it was parsing Doug's attachment. Why would it do that? Is this the same bug that is fixed by Colin Rafferty's "[patch]?" [checking] Well, the patch made it possible to collect the message, but the message itself comes in as two pieces: one from Doug and one from "foo." The one from Doug thinks it is a multipart message, but it only contains the text up to the "From foo" line. Obviously, something strange is happening when Gnus parses a multipart message that just happens to contain another message. -- Jack Vinson <jvinson@chevax.ecs.umass.edu> http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~vinson/ Zippy: Mr and Mrs PED, can I borrow 26.7% of the RAYON TEXTILE production of the INDONESIAN archipelago? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
