As Milan has pointed out, the server in question is in error. The specific problem is of a class known as a framing error (i.e. the boundaries within the data are being violated). Apparently Thunderbird tries to work around it. However the problem with framing errors is that unless you do a careful heuristic analysis of the entire message stream they can lead to situations in which the fix actually creates other problems in some circumstances, and these can easily happen at some distance from where the server made its mistake and be very hard to diagnose. Maybe TB has managed to avoid this, maybe not. I've no idea, but Evo has very limited developer resources and this in my view is definitely not a priority. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
