[comp.mail.mh] corrupint incoming "archives"

cwm@sooner.palo-alto.ca.us (Chris Moore) (06/10/91)

i'm having a problem with mh when i receive and incorporate
a message containing a tarmail archive.  this is a compressed
and the btoa'ed file.  the problem only seems to occur with
large files, > 100K.  i can't see what is happening to the
file to corrupt it but i can't reverse the encoding process.

any thoughts?

here is my config:

version: MH 6.7 #3[UCI] (sooner) of Sun Mar 17 23:14:34 PST 1991
options: [ATZ] [BSD42] [BSD43] [FOLDPROT='"0700"'] [MHRC]
         [MORE='"/usr/ucb/more"'] [MSGPROT='"0700"'] [NFS] [SUN40]
         [TYPESIG='void'] [WHATNOWA] [SENDMTS] [SMTP]

SUN SPARCstation SLC -- SunOS 4.1.1

Thanks for any help!
