Description

[Bob Fillmore]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Recently I have been getting spam emails which hang the "get mail" function.
Each time I shut down and restart Mozilla, and do a "get mail", I get one
more copy of the bad message in my inbox.  If I quit Mozilla and delete the
message from my POP server using a different mail client, "get mail" will then
continue on past the bad message.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fetch the bad message from a POP server (message included below)
2.
3.




Here is a copy of the message captured with ethereal (note bad MIME
delimiter at end):
