Topic: mail
Question:
I've just incorporaterd new mail into my account, not realising that my
file quota was already reached. The system has written all the new files
on my disk space BUT they are all empty!
I didn't get any kind of warning or anything before they essentially
destroyed the mail.
Since I haven't read a single one of the mails I'd like to know whether there
is a way to reincoporate the mail and get the information.
I've cleaned up my account by now and the quota is no problem anymore.
Machine info:
Processor: DECstation 3100
Display : PMAX-MFB
Memory : 0xbdf000 user; 0x1000000 (16 M) total

I checked, and he used "inc" from his athena% prompt. All the mail from that
particular day shows up with xmh, but all the files are zewro-length. "from"
indicates no mail waiting for him.
Please let me know if this bug will have to wait until the next release toi
be fixed. If it does, it's a nasty enough bug that it may be worthwhile to
put out a bugfix release.
Thanks.
