mutt cache sensitivity



Hello,

The mutt message cache is kinda touchy, and if mutt and/or the connection dies unexpectedly, it corrupts the cache. What happens is that partial messages get saved to the cache, and later mutt trusts the cache to be correct even when it is obvious that it is not (i.e. the server says the message is n-bytes long and the cache file is 0-bytes long).

It seems to me that mutt should cache messages to a temporary location and only move them into the official message cache once the message has been fully downloaded.
