If a message in my mailbox on pop3server has a message with a 0 length body, it
will only download messages until this one, then stop, and any messages in the
pop3 mailbox after it are never read. It leaves the email client and the
database in an unstable state.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.have someone send an email with 0 length body
2.retrieve your email
3.

Actual Results:  
Email client is broken, will not get rest of emails

Expected Results:  
download this message and all others after it.

If I use another email client and delete just this message, Mozilla works fine
after that. Some other email clients have the same fault.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest nightly (or even 1.5)?
If not, this bug can be closed. Thanks.
