128746 - Courier IMAP: Download of message fails when the body contains escape characters

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[martin]

IMAP download of a message body will FAIL if the msg contains escape chars. Msg
headers are downloaded properly, but downloadfing the body itself stalls. 

The error is triggered on msg download, either by trying to read the msg or by
running a "sync folders" command. 

Netscape 4.78 will download and display the msg.

Mozilla 0.9.8 on Win2k
Server: CourierIMAP 1.3.11 compiled with the "--with-client-bug-workarounds"
SSL: OpenSSL 0.9.6b

The msg looks like:
Subject: 
        Cron <htdocs@kick> cd ~/htdocs/docs/howto/ ; lwp-download
       
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html/Linux-html-HOWTOs.tar.gz
        ; tar -xzf Linux-html-HOWTOs.tar.gz

     To: 
        [e-mail]

Should you need a test account -- even with an email in it with the problem --
I'll be happy to set that up.
