Every time I delete a message, try to get new mail, and then commit the
deletions, TechMail munges one or more of my messages, and not always ones
that I was planning on deleting. From a recent incident:
(the three black squares show up as ^_^_^L in my editor)
1,ved: from PACIFIC-CARRIER-ANNEX.MIT.EDU [...]
(the two sets of two black squares both show up as ^_^L in my editor)
1, d
,ived: from PACIFIC-CARRIER-ANNEX.MIT.EDU [...]
It is very frequent that I get the control characters or the "1,," part
from the next line messed up. This is the first time that I've seen the
word "Received" messed up, although I have seen bits from the end of a
message get messed up.
I'd like to see TechMail be a little more reliable and/or tolerant of
errors in the RMAIL file.
