dovecot - Sep 2003 - mailbox sorting issue

Thanks for the "junk at end" help. Now I'm having one more
perplexing
issue:

When I sort a Dovecot mbox in Pine, the most recent messages tend to
linger near the bottom of the message list, regardless of how they're
sorted. Here's a snippet of the bottom of the list, sorted by arrival
time:

And here is a snippet of the same mbox list, sorted by From address:

Notice that message from cm2144 in both lists, way out of order in the
second!

I'm not 100% sure that this is a Dovecot issue, but I suspect it is,
since this doesn't happen if I open the same mailbox locally or with
UW-IMAP. I know that Pine makes use of IMAP server-based sorting if it
is available.

I tried deleting .imap-index* files, just in case, but that didn't help.

thanks,

Looks like it's buggy in 0.99.10. I found several sorting bugs from CVS
as well. CVS works now correctly, I'll look at 0.99.10 later again since
the problem is elsewhere in it..

Maybe I'll just kludge the mbox support working again to get 0.99.11 out
:)
