I tried to upgrade from qpopper 3.12 to 4.0 on a Linux server, but found
that I had to revert when I got complaints from users of Eudora 3.0 who
use send on POP feature.  Their messages were not going out as usual
because the headers of their sent messages suddenly appeared all on one
line.  I plan to have those users upgrade to a later Eudora version and
use authenticated SMTP instead, but wonder if the apparent send on POP
breakage is a known issue.

I see the following comment in popper/pop_xmit.c:

  *  06/11/00 [rg]
  *           - Applied patch by Clifton Royston to translate network EOL
  *             (CRLF) to local EOL ('\n').
  *           - Now only initial ".\n' is recognized as end-of-msg (instead
  *             of any line which starts with a "." and ends with a ".").

Could that have anything to do with the problem?


Sorta.

XTND XMIT is, indeed (still) broken (as of 4.0.1). The buffer is written to
the temp file with no '\n' to terminate the line(s)  (Doh!).

The following patch fixes it:

               fputs ( &buffer[1], tmp );
           else
               fputs ( buffer, tmp );
+             fputc ( '\n', tmp );
       } else
           fputs ( buffer, tmp );
+         fputc ( '\n', tmp );
       return 0;
   }
