> Could this explain the Frankenstein messages we see from time to time? It's quite possible: the Frankenstein messages have correct headers and the body of a previous mail, while the problem I found is that some message body is not retrieved. I discovered the problem because I was lucky enough to just have two messages to download from my POP server, and the second one (which would not get its body downloaded) was much smaller than the previous one. This leaded to a crash because M would try to look for a body that has a negative size (the headers of the first message were bigger than the total second message). I guess that the Frankenstein ones are messages that were thought to have a positive body size, which would be fetched from the previously downloaded message. > Although, I haven't seen one for a while and the behaviour was sporadic. I get one from time to time. I was quite happy that I have a POP server on my machine that saves messages, in some cases. > In addition, somebody on the list had found a way to reproduce it, but I > can't remember if it had been corrected or not.
