Package: icedove
Version: 3.0.11-1+squeeze1

i just had an email that has two attachments. message size as reported
in SMTP traffic was roughly about a megabyte. i tried to send it by smtp
the usual way. i tried to restart icedove and each time it behaved
exactly the same way. unfortunately i erased that message now. this is
what happened:

sending the message starts and the progress meter stops at 99%.

when running wireshark and analyzing the TCP traffic, i see that at the
end of the message, icedove sends "CR LF ." but then does not send
another "CR LF" as requested by the server. for that reason the server
waits for more data to come. some time later icedove stops with smtp
timeout.

there must be a bug in icedove that makes it stop after the "CR LF ."
and not send the additional "CR LF" after that. i'm sorry i cannot give
more debugging information here.

when analyzing TCP traffic of working SMTP sends from icedove it always
sends CR LF . CR LF and then the server responds as expected.
