[sup-talk] Problem with mbox format

[William Morgan]

Excerpts from Christopher Warrington's message of Thu Oct 11 10:30:30 -0700 2007:
> I've been having some problems with messages that appear to confuse the
> mbox parser. For example, if, by chance, one of my messages contains
> "From now on" and this starts a new line, I get this error when sup
> tried to store the sent message in sent.mbox:

This should now be fixed in SVN. If you have any unquoted From's in
sent.mbox, you will have to manually fix them (i.e., change "From " to
">From " at the start of all lines) and run sup-sync --changed sup://sent.

> Also, if I save a message like this for later editing, lines that start
> with "From " have a '>' perpended to them which I must delete.

This should also now be fixed. I think.

> (Which mbox format is sup using, by the way?)

The variant where "From " at the beginning of a line signifies a new
message. Content-Lines or Content-Size or whatever the header is is
ignored.
