I have a message that seems "confused" from c-client. I have tried it with Pine 4.64 and it shows the message blank (empty).
Are you using an IMAP server? If so, what IMAP server implementation?
BODYSTRUCTURE (("TEXT" "PLAIN" ("CHARSET" "us-ascii") NIL NIL "7BIT" 0 0 NIL NIL NIL) "MIXED" ("BOUNDARY" "------------090003040805030408020409") ("INLINE" ("FILENAME" "[Fwd: Re: a message]")) NIL)
That BODYSTRUCTURE is completely bogus. Here is the correct BODYSTRUCTURE for that message:
BODYSTRUCTURE (("TEXT" "PLAIN" ("CHARSET" "ISO-8859-15" "FORMAT" "flowed") NIL NIL "7BIT" 23 4 NIL NIL NIL NIL)("MESSAGE" "RFC822" ("NAME" "Re: a message") NIL NIL "7BIT" 518 ("Fri, 28 Oct 2005 11:50:37 -0500" "RE: a message" (("Some User" NIL "someuser" "example.net")) (("Some User" NIL "someuser" "example.net")) (("Some User" NIL "someuser" "example.net")) (("Some User" NIL "someuser" "example.net")) NIL NIL NIL "<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>") ("TEXT" "PLAIN" ("CHARSET" "UTF-8" "FORMAT" "flowed") NIL NIL "7BIT" 18 1 NIL NIL NIL NIL) 15 NIL ("INLINE" ("FILENAME" "Re: a message")) NIL NIL) "MIXED" ("BOUNDARY" "------------090003040805030408020409") NIL NIL NIL)
I use mail_fetch_overview_sequence() to get the BODYSTRUCTURE:
mail_fetch_overview_sequence() is not the correct function to get a BODYSTRUCTURE. The correct (and ONLY) function is mail_fetch_structure(). In general, overviews should be used only for NNTP and not for other types of connections.
What's more, how did you get that bogus "BODYSTRUCTURE"? I hope that you didn't look at elt->private.msg.body; that data is strictly private to c-client (hence the "private" moniker) and it is guaranteed that applications will fail if they poke in there.
To repeat (since this is important): the ONLY way to get the message BODYSTRUCTURE is the mail_fetch_structure() function.
According to the body struture, the "TEXT" "PLAIN" is part 1 and "INLINE" is part 2.
What you quoted as a "BODYSTRUCTURE" only shows a single part with empty content. The "INLINE" is a content disposition for the MULTIPART which is wrong because in the message it's the content disposition for an embedded message. As I said, it's completely bogus.
I can't otherwise tell if it's just a matter of bad usage of c-client or if your IMAP server is also broken.
