I've tried about half a dozen different IMAP-capable clients with the same results. Is this something that was fixed recently?
No. Whatever's delivering mail to your maildirs is apparently failing to append the trailing newline character after the last line of the message.
That is right Sam, they aren't appending a newline, but they don't need to:
THE MAILDIR STRUCTURE
[...] Each file in new is a newly delivered mail message. The
modification time of the file is the delivery date of the
message. The message is delivered without an extra UUCP-
style From_ line, without any >From quoting, and without
an extra blank line at the end. The message is normally
in RFC 822 format, starting with a Return-Path line and a
Delivered-To line, but it could contain arbitrary binary
data. It might not even end with a newline.Notice the very last line there, /It might not even end with a newline/ - meaning the delivery can have no new line, so it's up to Courier-IMAP to still display the full message. If it's not, then it's denying the user their full message, making it an unreliable IMAP server.
I need this line, as sometimes I save a draft of a document with just 1 URL to pick up later - and it shows up as a blank message when I check it via IMAP - essentially a lost message.
What are you doing to correct this?
