I'm attaching a screenshot of 'View source' of a mail saved in my local 'Sent'
folder.

The first line of the next message is shown as the last in this.

The screenshot was made with 2001012403 on linux

I think this is a line terminator issue - the size in the sent folder is wrong.

Not sure about that. When mozilla created the message that's being shown in the
screenshot, ie it was the last in the sent folder, selecting it produced a
strange message, but didn't write it down. I have now reorganized my sent
folder, so i can't check again.

When another mail was sent & written to sent folder, the message was never shown
again.

I meant to reassign this to Navin - doing so now. What I meant was the size of
the message as stored in the db was wrong. The error comes because we were
trying to read more bytes out of the file than were in the file. When you put
more messages in the file, you no longer get that error.

I have never seen this problem in any version (I guess starting with 0.9.4)
under Linux. Is this still happening?

I didn't even remember reporting this bug ;-) Never seen something similar,
because I've moved to IMAP.
