Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-02-16 21:19

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 The underlying cause of this problem is the fact that the original message contains a subpart of type message/delivery-status which in turn contains a text/plain 'returned message'. The reason this is a problem is that the Python email library parses message/delivery-status parts differently from other MIME parts. It considers groups of lines separated from each other by empty lines to each be the headers of a sub-part of the message/delivery-status part, and these sub-parts all have only headers and no bodies. One of these sub-parts in this case has headers with content-type text/plain which causes scrubber to try to include the decoded body of this part in the flattened text/plain message which causes the error. The attached patch will catch the exception in this case and allow the message to be added to the archive, but the entire message/delivery-status part will not be in the archived message because the parser treats it as all headers and no body. Please try the patch and report whether you think this is satisfactory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1430236&group_id=103
