In summary:
- reproducable on, at least, powerpc (but not on i386) - loosing mail occurs in two steps: - a mailbox is opened, and then the Content-Length of its messages is set to 0 - the mailbox is reopened; if there's modifications to it, the messages with Content-Lenght set to 0 get truncated Se the How-To-Repeat section. >How-To-Repeat: Any mbox should do, but I've used this one-message-only one: http://people.debian.org/~adeodato/tmp/2005-09-29/mutt-eating-mail/mbox.gz mutt -f mbox <ENTER> qq cat mbox # notice the Content-Length header mutt -f mbox wn q cat mbox >Fix: Reverting the introduction of fseeko/ftello fixes (http://people.debian.org/~adeodato/tmp/2005-09-29/mutt-eating-mail/revert-this.diff), but it would be better to investigate and come with a real fix. >Add-To-Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
