I found a bug with enclosures in messages. Messages seems to have trouble with two enclosures in the same message. It only recognizes the first one. This message has two enclosures. If you get both of them let me know I will try to track down the problem here. NOTE: the recieved message has both enclosures in it, the problem is messages doesn't prompt for saving of both enclosures. dav@northstar.dartmouth.edu

Yes, I forgot to add the enclosures in my last message, opps. ---- Enclosure ---- This is the first enclosure. ---- Enclosure ---- ---- Enclosure ---- This is the second enclosure. ---- Enclosure ----

Interesting. Actually, we never even tried to define the semantics for multiple enclosures. The draft RFC we never published that described enclosures never even touched on the issue. The bottom line: it never occurred to me (as the person who conceived and implemented the enclosure feature) that multiple enclosures were a possibility, so I'm not in the least surprised that they don't work... -- Nathaniel

I'm not sure what to make of your message with enclosures. 1. The message I received contained the following in the visible body of the message: ---- Enclosure ---- This is the first enclosure. ---- Enclosure ---- ---- Enclosure ---- This is the second enclosure. ---- Enclosure ---- This is the first time I've ever seen the enclosures in the message window. 2. I was prompted for action on an enclosure. I saved it to a file. It was the text "This is the first enclosure." I was not prompted for action on any other enclosures. 3. Actually, the first time I took action on the enclosure, I selected the "pipe through a command" option. I specified "page" as the command. Messages core dumped. -wdc
