Hi,
I seem to be caught in a bit of a catch-22. I can''t reliably use mbox
because of shortcomings in its format. And, I can''t use maildir because
sup-sync-back doesn''t support it.
More specifically, I seem to come across this much more often that I
should. It''s caused by someone starting a line of their message with
"From". For example:
...
X-Bogosity: Ham, tests=bogofilter, spamicity=0.000000, version=1.2.0
Status:
X-Keywords:
Content-Length: 1742
From the ticket he states that 1.2.3.4 is the IP:
...
That yields this exception:

Is there much of anything that I can do to mitigate this problem, aside
from manually altering every offending message?
It seems like the messages'' Content-Length header should be used to
skip
past the body and ignore the offending Froms? Or, at least, if that sort of
ArgumentError is thrown, maybe it should be caught and handled better?
I''m running current master (2dfd378b616243d03203e49f5ee29636051d3cbf).
Thanks.

Can you try again, please?> It seems like the messages'' Content-Length header should be used to > skip past the body and ignore the offending Froms?This is an option, but I''m avoiding it, because Content-Length is not guaranteed to be there, and not guaranteed to be correct.> Or, at least, if that sort of > ArgumentError is thrown, maybe it should be caught and handled better?Yep, that''s what I''ve done. I couldn''t get my local system to throw ArgumentError, even with your example, but if it''s possible, it''s possible, and should be caught. -- William <wmorgan-sup at masanjin.net>

(I altered the example slightly for anonymity reasons, that might have invalidated it as a test case). -- Mike Kelly
