113939 - Messages Mangled [boundary misplaced]

Description

[David A. Cobb]

This /looks like/ bug <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95584>; if so
then that one is not fixed! 

I get a large volume of mail, mostly mail-lists, mostly filtered.  I get filter
failures (that's another bug).  I don't know whether that's relevant.  

A couple of messages per day are ganz abgevukket.  The summary display shows a
subject I'm expecting, but the message shows something like the attached.  Note
that the MBX boundary ("From . . . .") appears in the middle and there is no
proper headers block at the top.

In the quoted case, both messages came from the same list sender.  The visible
subject line (a request for confirmation from a totally different list) has
nothing whatever to do with either message.

Attachment: Most recent scrambled mail - quoted in description.

Comment 2

[David A. Cobb]

Attachment: Scrambled Mail Message

This is an earlier scrambled message - also earlier Mozilla.

Comment 3

[David A. Cobb]

Attachment: Scrambled Mail Message #3

Also an earlier occurrence, around the same time as #60734

Comment 4

[David A. Cobb]

Attachment: More of same, Moz 2002-01-03-03. This one has *3* messages included

I don't imagine I'm adding anything useful to knowledge of the cause.  Just
that having [pieces of?] 3 messages is a new record AFAIK.

Reporter, is this still happening in a current version?

I haven't seen it lately.  I've been keeping up weekly - now 2002-05-25-04.  
Among the changes: I switched from Win98 to Win2K, altho' the mailfiles are
still on a FAT32 filesystem.
