Oh... this seems the be a bug in TMDA. Like in RFC822 defined mailheaderfields CAN be split in two lines. Now I'm wondering, that nobody has a simmular problem. Is there any chance to get an update for TMDA, or should I try to fix this problem on my side by parsing all mails bevor putting them into TMDA?
I have found an article in google-groups for this: http://groups.google.at/groups?hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=2111%40ruuinf.cs.ruu.nl&rnum=9&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dfrom-line%2Btwo%2Blines%2Bmail%2Bproblem%26hl%3Dde%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D2111%2540ruuinf.cs.ruu.nl%26rnum%3D9 And here is the text from the RFC822 which I have found by google: 3.1.1. LONG HEADER FIELDS Each header field can be viewed as a single, logical line of ASCII characters, comprising a field-name and a field-body. For convenience, the field-body portion of this conceptual entity can be split into a multiple-line representation; this is called "folding". The general rule is that wherever there may be linear-white-space (NOT simply LWSP-chars), a CRLF immediately followed by AT LEAST one LWSP-char may instead be inserted. Thus, the single line To: "Joe & J. Harvey" <ddd @Org>, JJV @ BBN can be represented as: To: "Joe & J. Harvey" <ddd @ Org>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and To: "Joe & J. Harvey" <ddd@ Org>, JJV @BBN and To: "Joe & J. Harvey" <ddd @ Org>, JJV @ BBN The process of moving from this folded multiple-line representation of a header field to its single line represen- tation is called "unfolding". Unfolding is accomplished by regarding CRLF immediately followed by a LWSP-char as equivalent to the LWSP-char. Note: While the standard permits folding wherever linear- white-space is permitted, it is recommended that struc- tured fields, such as those containing addresses, limit folding to higher-level syntactic breaks. For address fields, it is recommended that such folding occur August 13, 1982 - 5 - RFC #822 so long, Andreas -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Monique Y. Mudama Gesendet: Montag, 12.

You might try scanning the last few weeks of those two lists. -- monique _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
