Hi all, I'm creating an IMAP "backup app" which basicaly fetches all mails and dumps them to a Maildir. I'm using UW's c-client as the IMAP interface API. I've been wrestling with a weird bug for some time now, and since I can't find a solution I'm turning to this list.
When calling mail_fetchtext(), some messages return an incomplete string. I've only witnessed this on attachments, they're truncated to only a couple of bytes (like 60 bytes). If I use mail_fetchbody() for the section where the mail was truncated, I do get the complete string. It always happens on the same mails, and they are truncated to exactly the same amount, yet I can't find a common cause. Some mails are fetched succesfully with attachments of up to 8MB, while some problematic mails are less than that, so size is not the issue. It's not a NULL-character issue because the truncation also happens in base64 encoded strings. Any ideas what might be causing it and how I could fix it? I'd rather not use mail_fetchbody() because of the added overhead in glueing the parts together again afterwards.
