Re: Do very long mails cause problems with balsa?

[Phil Rhoades <philr mail austasia net>]

Ian,

I have an example file (57Kb gzipped) which I will send to you separately 
but as extra info, when I start balsa I get:

- the Checking Mail dialog appears
- a whole lot of diagnostics in the windows where I started balsa ending with:

POP3 O: "È«`"
POP3 D: Line completed
POP3 D: Writing message to fp
POP3 D: Message reading loop: 135570456
POP3 L: "home/accounts/9293/super/sup992a.wk1

POP3 O: "€¬`"

^[[?1;2c


- the last line ("home/accounts/9293/super/supsamp.wk1") is line 1025 in a 
file of length 13178 lines.
- and then another dialog:

"balsa -- sm - clientid 11.......

No response to the SaveYourself command. The program may be slow, stopped 
or broken. You may wait  for it to respond or remove it"

- If I click on "Remove" nothing happens and I have to kill the process.

It would be nice if this could be sorted out, because I use Eudora on 
Windows (on Win4Lin) and want something as good for native Linux mode and 
balsa is just right . .

Thanks,

Phil.
