Steve, Have you been seeing messages from Arachne list? I haven't. Your message headers first line was
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> meaning the copy you sent directly to me, off list. When I asked if fetchmail had trouble with messages having one or more lines of 1024 characters, I was referring to downloading, not reading. Popclient OS/2 port halted with a segfault on such a message, but that message and all preceding messages were downloaded successfully, and all messages up to but not including the one with 1024-character-wide lines were removed from the server. NetMail for DOS downloads all preceding messages, then downloads the message with 1024-character-wide lines and appends whitespace at the end in an infinite loop. I have to hit Ctrl-C to escape, and all messages remain on the server. UKA_PPP 1.7x2 aka NOS-BOX 2.05 has no problems with these wide-lined messages. Now some Korean spams come with the body base64-encoded and lines of 1024 characters except the last. I don't think there is a DOS version of fetchmail, though there was an OS/2 version. Korean spams I get seem to be always HTML, sometimes base64-encoded or quoted-printable, charset ks_c_5601-1987 or euc-kr. HTML keywords are in English, but the message itself, as well as the subject line, is likely to consist largely of upper-ASCII characters. Just so you see what I get, here is an actual sample, not one of the longer ones (I wouldn't do that to you): Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from hanmail.net ([61.83.167.185]) by w3.bluegrass.net (8.12.1/8.12.1) with SMTP id g4MEXwpA090973 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 22 May 2002 10:33:59 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: °èÈÆÀÏ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Á¤º¸] °°Àº ¸ð½ÀÀ¸·Î »ìÁö ¾Ê´Â´Ù.!!!!
