Bug#460600: : attachments are only partly downloaded

[Enrico Zini]

Package: icedove
Version: 2.0.0.22-0lenny1
Severity: normal

Hello,

reproduced here. Three mails with attachments had their attachment
truncated at offset 0x7000. Mutt was able to download those mails and
attachments over IMAPS just fine.

This happened when using IMAP over SSL on port 993; I haven't tried other ways
because I can use only this one. The problem showed when opening an attachment
on a folder which was not marked "for offline use". Once I marked the folder
for offline use and then ran File/Offline/"Download/Sync Now", then it managed
to get everything fully downloaded.

Once I got it to work, I cannot find a way to reintroduce the problem: I can
restore the settings as before, but attachments are now always downloaded
properly. I wish I had made a copy of prefs.js before starting to look for
workarounds.

At least I found a workaround. This is the kind of bug where if the user is
the only person using Icedove in the team at work, he/she puts his/her job at
risk.


Ciao,

Enrico
