Priority: 8 Submitted By: Tibor Pittich (phuture) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: bad handling From header in archiver

Initial Comment: 2.1.4 mailman version - there is problem with archiver. when body of message contains blank line and continued with text 'From ' at beggining of line, then archiver thing that this is a new message and split it. i see, there is a cleanarch script, which can escape non-header From line but why i must change original post adding "escape character"? is there possibility to check only header of message instead of whole message including body? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David A. Desrosiers (desrod) Date: 2004-09-22 16:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3078 I can confirm that this affects the public/stable release version of 2.1.5. Running bin/cleanarch on the suspect mbox DOES NOT fix the problem. I have a list with messages back in 2002, which have "parts" showing up at the end of my September 2004 archives. The messages contain "parts" of the body, and are missing most of the headers. Every time arch runs, it reduplicates the trashed/truncated messages from 2002 onto the end of the September 2004 archive. This is a MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR blocker, and cleanarch is not a proper solution. There are reasons why valid messages can start with the word "From" at the beginning of a line, and not be part of the "From:" header. Here are two examples: http://lists.pilot-link.org/pipermail/pilot-link-general/2002-September/0163... http://lists.pilot-link.org/pipermail/pilot-link-general/2002-June/016144.ht... I haven't yet found a fix for this, and adding the > in front of the "From" words at the beginning of the lines, DOES NOT fix the problem. In fact, deleting those messages (remember, they're from TWO YEARS AGO) from the .mbox, rm'ing the .html files, and re-running arch on the list, DOES NOT fix the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David A.
