199408 - Truncated mail downloading link does not work with POPFile

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[Gene]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

When an email is above a set size limit and is then truncated by mozilla's
mailnews, there's a link to download the rest.  Unfortunately, it's not
compatible with POPFile (http://popfile.sourceforge.net/), an email parser.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on the link to download the rest of the message in any truncated one.
2. repeat like an idiot
3. Throw a fit and fix it.

Actual Results:  
Nothing (the "Mozilla is busy" icon doesn't seem busy)
Once I changed the server setting back to go directly to the server, it works.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have downloaded the rest of the message. (and the icon seems busy)


This could be a POPFile problem but mozilla seems fine otherwise with
non-truncated files.

Mail shows: "This message exceeded the Maximum Message Size set in Preferences, so we have 
only downloaded the first few lines from the mail server.

Click here to download the rest of the message."

I did click there, but the message is lost - zarro bites are downloaded, and the message dissapears 
from the list.  You can try again as long as you see the "exceed" message in the preview pane.  But 
it won't work.
This bug is there since my first Mozilla install (1.3)  - until now, Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC 
Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

I do not know what "POPfile" is, but the
