Mutt handles it safely. First it can detect an incorrect value (unless one has very bad luck), and ignore it in such a case. Anyway, on my machines, messages are copied to an mbox mailbox only by Mutt, and Mutt makes sure that the Content-Length value is correct. Any I would never use the mbox format for an incoming mailbox. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
