The same message was sent twice to me, once straight from Hotmail and once relayed
through MailAndNews. The same parts were missing both times, but there is nothing
special about the parts. The first message that showed up like that, she'd used a lot
of the Hotmail graphical smiley faces and such, so I thought that might have been the
problem, but on this next one she just used text and it cuts off from the middle of a
word down through the end of that particular paragraph, then it picks it up again.
Here's an example of a message received through Imail...
"Oops, I have another hiccup attack, I'm still in pain from earlier on today, so I
best go, get these stopped before they tear a hole in my chest-do you ever get crazy
bouts of the hiccups where they just stay with you for a whole day? I do, and I h
Take care,
the hiccupper :)"
And here's the same message fragment on MailAndNews...
"Oops, I have another hiccup attack, I'm still in pain from earlier on today, so I
best go, get these stopped before they tear a hole in my chest-do you ever get crazy
bouts of the hiccups where they just stay with you for a whole day? I do, and I hate
it muchly!
Take care,
the hiccupper :)"
As you can see, it didn't cut off much, but the fact that it didn't just take it
straight off the end of the message struck me as odd, as well. This one just happened
to occur at the end of the message, but before the "Take care" part. Sometimes it
occurs in the middle of the message, deleting the last few lines off of a paragraph
there, then picking back up where it left off with no further problems. It's only
happening with this one sender, too, my other friends with Hotmail accounts' email
comes through fine. I have the "max size" on the server set to 0, as well as the "max
message" count, and I'm nowhere near the 25 megs I allowed for my mailbox.
Thanks!
