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.
Certainly true on a production system, couldn't it be supplied as an optional patch or something of that nature?
Potential changes to any part of MIME parsing logic must have a damn good reason for them.
No argument there, though I'm not sure I see what kind of evil things could happen by adding what's in the buffer when you see ^D instead of \n^D. Am I missing something obvious? Did anyone ever find out what client he was using to inject messages that was causing this problem, might be easier to attack the problem from that end anyways.
Sorry for the delayed response, I've been busy.
For the life of me I can't consistently reproduce the error.
I know it was when I was using webmail from work (I only have SqWebMail and SquirrelMail that connects to Non-SSL Courier IMAP). I had put a few URL's and my signature was at the end, simply "--jesse" at the time. When I came home and read the email in Mozilla the signature was not showing.
Thought the last day or two trying to reproducr it is giving me nothing. This is strange. I have seen it happen 3-4 times, and I've only been using Courier-IMAP in the last few months, used strictly POP3 before that and haven't had an issue like this in the few years since running a mail server.
Believe me when I say that I will post an exact example of this when it comes up again, and what exact steps I took to reproduce. Sorry for the lack of information at the given time.
The reason I brought it up is because I've seen others report the same issue (hence the person that started this thread originally), so I just wanted to get more information and share more about it.
