Many of the corrupted messages | include a content-length that appears to be valid. Well, FWIW, that Content-Length is valid, as far as I can tell. What I think we need to see is where the next message in the Incoming* file abuts the one that is split incorrectly. If there is no blank line before the next message delimter (some POP servers are notorious for stripping whitespace) then the Content-Length split check will fail and Gnus will fall back to looking for mbox separators. If you are going to rewrite pop3.el functions, pop3-munge-message-separator is the best place to do it. I probably should have forced the MMDF format instead of mbox; I really do not know why I did not. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE4e98Zgl+vIlSVSNkRAojlAJ0fHwqwMfkAiB2HdZ5gIVA8kr7CdwCfRKXG GTyknpoTuPhqSr/z/9rDFqA= =/u4H -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Warning: pregnant women, the elderly, and Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ children under 10 should avoid prolonged PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ exposure to Happy Fun Ball.
