ANy idea HOW MANY dashes it takes in a row to split the message for your
mail reader?  Many programs put two or three to designate the .sig

The digest separator is 28 dashes.
Anything over that seems to cause a problem.
It probably has to start at the start of a line, too.

I'm not sure if the problem is related, but I've also had
trouble with debian-user digests, in my case using Emacs/RMAIL
on a non-debian system.

In my case the problem appears to be that debian-user-digest
uses a row of dashes as message separator, but some messages
already include rows of dashes, which are not escaped in the digest.

(So can everyone stop using rows of dashes!! :-)

debian-user-digest problems

1997-06-12 Thread Lee Bradshaw
I'm using debian 1.3 and having problems reading digest email with elm.
First I get the following status message when opening a
debian-user-digest email:

   Seems that message/rfc822 data was corrupted

The other problem is that elm will sometimes stop reading before the end
of the digest.  When this happens the last line shown is usually:

-- End of included mail

This line appears at the end of every? entry in the digest, but it only
confuses elm sometimes.  Any suggestions?  I've been reading mail with
"less /var/spool/mail/bradshaw", but that lacks a few mail features.

The last digest entry I received was #321 and it had both of these
problems.  Thanks for any help.
