[comp.mail.mh] problems splitting up /usr/spool/mail/*

mcgowan@nisc.nyser.net (Craig McGowan) (08/30/89)

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.

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.

My MH set-up is:

version: MH 6.5 #47[UCI] (chorus) of Thu Oct  1 15:03:15 MET 1987
options: [BSD42] [BERK] [TTYD] [DUMB] [FOLDPROT='"0700"'] [MHRC]
         [MSGPROT='"0600"'] [MHE] [NETWORK] [BIND] [RPATHS] [UCI]
         [SBACKUP='"#"'] [SENDMTS] [SMTP]
