Is there a limit on the number of messages in a folder that ELM can handle? We're running ELM 2.3 PL8; someone in my group has a folder with over 1,000 mail messages, and plain mail handles it okay, but in elm, the messages are displayed strangely, starting in the middle of messages, as though pointers to the tops of messages are messed up.

I can't produce the effect you've described on a folder with 1749 messages in.

I've seen this happen when one or more of the messages contains NULL characters, regardless of the number of messages in the folder. Les Mikesell les@chinet.chi.il.us
