When I said the message was deleted on POST, I was using technical jargon referring to the HTML/HTTP from submission. Briefly the steps to reproduce were: 1. Create New message 2. Fill out 'To', 'Subject' and body with a *specific* message. 3. Select submit/send 4. Observe message body is missing in sent mail folder. At the time of my original message, I had verified that my ISP was likely not tampering with the message by using a second ISP that uses a separate routing path. I have since done further testing in an attempt to rule out my web-browser as the problem. It turns out that my web-browser was submitting invalid UTF-8 data during POST. Yahoo! mail blanking the invalid field was likely correct, if cryptic behaviour. I have attached sample text and a Lynx.trace log that can be shared publicly. I have cc'd the lynx-dev mailing list. I have not yet tested with the latest development version of lynx. The UTF-8 character string in question was: E2 80 99 On the wire (line 139 of the Lynx.trace) this gets sent as: %C3%A2%80%99, an invalid UTF-8 sequence. The correct string would be: %E2%80%99 Other examples in sample text: EF BF BD -> %C3%AF%C2%BF%C2%BD Note: It appears I copy&pasted the substitution character. The resulting sequence is valid, but appears to be "dumb" per-byte code-page conversion. Regards, James Phillips <SNIP!> > 3.
