Subject: mutt: Mail retrieval fails with a certain message coming in
Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2003 09:04:32 -0700
This has happened to me a few time in the last month or two, so this
time I'm submitting a bug hoping it can be tracked down.
The symptoms are that I go to retrieve mail, one message is retrieved,
and then there is a beep and no further messages are retrieved. If I
retry, the same message is retrieved again and again.
I ran an strace, which I can send if interested. Here is what I suspect
is the interesting part:
write(1, "\rReading new messages (530\33[10@6"..., 51) = 51
time(NULL) = 1047742337
write(4, "RETR 1\r\n", 8) = 8
read(4, "+OK 13852 octets\r\n", 1024) = 18

Not that it means anything to me. I can also send the message that keeps
getting re-retrieved, in its pure form copied from the mail server, if
need be. The mail server is MDaemon. I think there must be some parsing
error or something which causes the DELE statement not to be able to
delete correctly, and stops the process. Actually, looking at the message,
it looks like it's cut off in the middle of an IMG tag. The entire message
on the server is 14k, but only about 4.2k arrives in /var/mail/toff.
I also tried moving aside /var/mail/toff, creating a new one, and that
made no difference; so it's not other stuff in my mailbox.
As soon as I deleted that message at the server, the rest of my mail
came in fine.
