279009 - Several Eudora mails are not imported individually but as part of other mails

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Migration, defect)

Description

[Uwe Sprengart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0, Thunderbird Version 1.0 (20041206)

When importing mails from Eudora, some mails are not imported as individual
mails, but incorporated into the previous mail. So the number of imported mails
is smaller than Eudora's number of mails.
Reason: The first line of some Eudora mails start with an incorrectly formatted
line such as:
From ???@??? Wed Jan 12 22:24:6 2000
The seconds in the date are expressed as a single figure instead of two figures.
TB thus does not realize that a new mail starts and incorporates the text into
the previous mail.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Eudora mailbox with several mails and delete one of the two seconds
figures in the first mail line.
2. Import the Eudora mailbox into TB.

Actual Results:  
Those mails with only one figure of the date's second are not shown as
individual mails.

Expected Results:  
Even if Eudoras first mail line has a wrong format, the mails should be imported
correctly as individual mails.

The incorrect formatting may be due to a wrong mail import by an older Eudora
version (in 2000). Such mail is displayed correctly within Eudora.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
