Hi all,
I am using gnus5.5 with emacs20.2, I use
it to read news and mail; I get mail from
a imap4 and pop3-able server with movemail
compiled with pop support. I'm using
french MULE extensions to correctly put
accents in my messages.
[I tried pop3.el with no success (gets stuck
with ``read 1/29 messages'') --- and pop3.el
was reported having troubles with emacs and mule]
Panic! Mail segmentation is incorrect:
I find ``From:'' lines as the last line of
some message, after the signature, which would
mean that the splitting is made just *after*
the header (???); the beginning of mail text
is often lacking (one line or two); I get
sometimes ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@... lines at
the end of messages.
This is a *very serious* pb, since I have
already lost a few mails or received some
partially destroyed. So, I am gonna change
for procmail as an intermediate solution,
but I really would like to know if there's
a real explanation and if I must face other
oddities
Thanx

I had similar problems with pgnus. i think that i'm not using pop3,
--- gnus directly gets my mails from mail spool dir.
Sometimes the beginning of the next mail looks in mbox like:
this is the continuation og previous mail...From aaa@bbb.ccc ...
etc. (i.e. the previous mail's last line is unfinished and From line
is written without an empty line skip), so the new mail is `invisible
in the correct place', but is visible at the end of prev. mail. I've
also sen those ^@^@^@^@^@s typically after the headers (filling the
empty line between headers and message body).
i was unable to reproduce systematically this prob, so did not report
it as a bug.
Best regards, -- Vladimir.

i can reproduce beginning of mail lossage systematically and other
errors too because they are very frequent: for instance, the last
message of kai appears to me like this:
***********
* Xref: luciole.louvre.France.Sun.COM gnus:18
*
* h(es) into the Gnus proper? It
* seems very nifty to show the To or Newsgroups header if the message
* has been written by oneself.
*
* kai
* --
* Life is hard and then you die.
*
*
* ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
* ^@^@^@^@
************
deserves a bug report?
