I think I'm getting in a little over my head, but here it goes.

So basically you're saying that if the file looks like this:

  glad to hear from you bob\n
  hope things are going well with you^D

instead of this

  glad to hear from you bob\n
  hope things are going well with you\n
  ^D

then they'll only see

glad to hear from you bob

In which case, couldn't you just adjust the parser to append whatever was in the buffer for that line when it hits the EOF marker? (I'm sure it's more complicated than I'm making it sound)

It is. So, when everything is working properly for well-formed mail content the last thing you want to do is screw around with it. The marginal benefit of improved handling of invalid input is outweighed by the potential of a major screwup.


Potential changes to any part of MIME parsing logic must have a damn good reason for them.
