Hi all, I've just been through some frustration finding out why mutt and kmail just don't want to cooperate (bug 41008 at bugs.kde.org).
The upshot of that seems to be that Content-Length: is a non-standard extension, with RFC saying it's deprecated (if not discouraged). There's a big rant about it at http://www.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/demo/content-length.html Emails which have Content-Length: but no "^From " quoting can't be read by clients which ignore Content-Length:, to which they're entitled to according to RFC, so it seems. The maintainer of procmail very recently didn't like Content-Length: at all either http://www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/cgi-bin/w3glimpse2html/procmail/2002-02/msg00019.html?53#mfs I don't quite follow all the arguments, but can anyone say what mutt's take on all this is? Is there any suitable method which does not use content-length: and doesn't mangle From in bodies? Also see thread "Mutt ignoring 'From ' lines in mailbox" ealier this month.
