Here's a single email message that 2a20 splits into 2 messages! (Older
versions of HM could handle this.) 2a20 thinks that the second 'from'
line indicates the start of a new message, one which doesn't have a
message-id. It then complains that the second message is id-less, and
the second part is just dropped - not good behavior for an archive tool.
I realize that this would be hard to parse in a multi-message mailbox, but
when operating in single-message incremental mode, can HM be forced not to
split these? Just stop parsing the message after it's done with the
headers? Alternatively, you'd have to build in recognition of all the
different forms of '...----Forwarded message ----...' and Included message,
etc.
Also, can HM do something reasonable with messages that for some reason
don't have a message id (can this happen?)?
Thanks,
Christina
