I have just installed popd from MH 6.6 on a Sun running OS 4.0.4. When I try to read mail using Stanford Mac MH, sometimes the mail in the spool file arrives as one big message instead of being split up. Has anyone seen this bug before? Here are my MH config options: version: MH 6.6 #2[UCI] (wp.nyser.net) of Thu Aug 17 19:17:22 EDT 1989 options: [BSD42] [BSD43] [BERK] [TTYD] [DUMB] [MHE] [NETWORK] [BIND] [RPATHS] [SBACKUP='"#"'] [SENDMTS] [SMTP] [POP] Thanks. -- Craig McGowan NYSERNet, Inc.

Here are my MH config options: It happens to me also using MH 6.5 on a Sun3/280 running SunOs3.5. It has been running correctly for months: the problem only appeared a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if it's related but it seems that it happens most of the time (not always!) when the first mail chunk to "inc" is a digest.

Look mh/uip/slocal.c for detail. I'm not using POP locally, so I suspect the bug (if any) is somewhere else. However I've noticed that slocal coming with MH-6.5 may not work correctly: I've tried to use MH to behave like the "vacation" from BSD, using some temporary folders, and I cannot get it working. Everything seems to show that "slocal" is not processing my stuff the way I want it to do. I'm suspecting slocal but this may be due also to some mistake in the MH macros I wrote (simple shell-scripts). Since I'm pretty overloaded at the moment I cannot track bugs any further. I wish I had time to do it! > By the way MH6.6 is available from louie.udel.edu:portal/mh-6.6.tar.Z I know. I've got the new sources here but no time to go through the all installation process. Maybe next week...! Thanks for replying anyway...
