Thanks for your help. I got another problem now. I cant seem to fecth anything from a rfc822.text after an empty line in the mail text itself. It seems that the application thinks its an empty buffer so it just exits. Is there anything to look out for at the end of the text message so that i can comfirm the end of message so that this wont happen? any clues anyone?
