In pop3.c, there is a function unsigned long pop3_cache (MAILSTREAM *stream,MESSAGECACHE *elt) One line of this function is LOCAL->txt = netmsg_slurp (LOCAL->netstream,&elt->rfc822_size, &LOCAL->hdrsize); This netmsg_slurp function creates a temporary file to hold the whole message. But the connexion goes down before a single byte can be received (in fact, it is the sending of the RETR command that makes the connexion go down, I believe). So it returns a handle (stored in LOCAL->txt) to an empty file. This emptiness is shown by the fact that elt->rfc822_size (the total size of the message, if I understood correctly) is equal to 0. The problem, IMO, comes from the fact that pop3_cache is called from pop3_text, which only checks for LOCAL->txt, but not for the size of the retrieved message. Or, alternatively, the problem is that netmsg_slurp should return a null file handle if there is a problem. -- Xavier Nodet "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
