Subject: [Patch] mbox From_ Format Generalization (Tiny Change)
Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2003 16:12:00 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3r8ad8aqn.fsf@float.attbi.com> (raw)
I downloaded a list archive for use with nndoc and was missing 5% of
the articles. Turns out that an early version of the mailer was
using a tab between the sender and the timestamp. This was later
changed to two spaces, then one space. However, the mbox format
apparently doesn't care, it just wants whitespace:
http://www.umanitoba.ca/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=5&topic=mbox
Once changed, gnus found all the articles.
Maybe this should be addressed in rmail.el, also? (no pun intended)
