We've had this bug for a while but I don't think we had it explicitly in a bug report yet. If you get new mail, you can typically show messages that were already in the inbox, but showing messages that came in with the new mail call, had display problems. When attempting to display the new message, we were reading an incorrect byte range out of the berkley mail folder for the new message because our message size was wrong. Typical UI symptom of this message would have been XML Parse error in the header window and part of a different message in the body window for the message. The only way you would see the messages is if you touched the berkley mail folder and then re-ran the mail app. This would have forced us to re-parse the berkely mail folder, generating correct byte range information for the new messages. Then you could display them properly.

Fix checked in. Should be available in the 4/26 builds. When adding new messages to the berkely mail folder, the pop code was appending an extra CRLF at the end of each new message without reporting this addition to the mailbox parser. As a result, the mail summary file (msf file) had a message size for the message which was two bytes less than the message really was. (Because it didn't know that we added those two extra bytes). I can now get new mail and properly displaying the new incoming messages.

We actually did have some bug on this: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4784 and bug 4886 although I guess it wasn't explictly this case (?) Thanks for fixing. Esther - want to verify this bug?

We're still having some display problems (various other bugs), I will wait to verify this with the 4/28 build per Scott's suggestions.

Using 1999043008 on win32 this appears to be fixed in a simple test. Can't check linux until 5736 is fixed.

Verified this on Linux 1999_05_03_08 build. Did a get mail and was able to select the newly received message in the message pane.

Moving all Mail/News Networking bugs to Mail/News Networking-Mail This may re-open previously Verified bugs due to a Bugzilla bug...if so, I will fix those bugs.
