It seems that we are truncating SMTP send operations at some fixed number of bytes. I will send you a test message that has the problem.

Actually, can you attach a copy of the test message to this bug report so we have it available after Scott fixes the bug? Thanks.

oh i see...heh heh..i have a "temp" macro defined the smtp protocol that sets my buffer size at 2K. I'm reading the file into this buffer and then sending it. Since the msg is over 2K, I'm stopping at 2K. Should be pretty easy to fix although i want to fix it without making the buffer an arbitrary size.

Adding Seth to the cc list as he'll be effected over in news land by the changes i need to make to fix this bug.

bumping severity to critical. data loss is bad. way bad ;-)

I thought it was going to be easy...then I thougt it was going to be hard....turns out it was easy. I now send the message in 2K chunks and I keep sending 2K chunks until I'm done. Turns out with smtp you can send data and not have to wait for a response from the server b4 you send more data. I'll check the fix in when the tree opens. However we still have a problem where this operation isn't asynch. I hate to think how the machine will grind if you send a message with a 10MB attachement. But that's another problem for another day.

Using 19990521 on Win95 this is fixed. I sent the above attached trouble msg using smptest.exe with this build (may 21) and then retrieved the msg. All the .jpg was dislayed in the message body as text with the ----[#] at the end of the text. Note: this .jpg does not display as an image for this message. Since I did not see the original problem, I downloaded the build for may 16 and sent this same message. When it was retrieved it only displayed a "f" in the message window. Verifying this as stated, if my results are not what you wanted, please reopen and we can discuss other test scenarios.

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.
