Re: header corruption very regularly

Hello, sugarcoatednapalm,

I believe the case you've described is annoying, however I am affraid
YoSucker handles this situation exactly as it was designed to handle it.  
If you look at the message you sent me more carefully, you'll find out
there's none of the usual fields every valid message should have, ie.  
there is no From:, To: or Date: field. Now, as YoSucker parses web 
interface and therefore there isn't any possibility of verifying that the 
downloaded message was fetched correctly, I must have set up some rules, 
just to make sure none of your messages get lost just because of the 
YoSucker's fault. So, I coded in this "safety-fuse", that simply checks 
whether there's at least one of the above mentioned mail headers and if it 
doesn't find any, it prints the "header corruption" message and does not 
delete the message nor does it write its message ID to YoSucker's 
repository. Like that YoSucker tries to fetch the message again and again, 
until it is succefull. Now, you may not agree here, but I prefered this 
safe-guided approach that can cause false-alarms sometimes (like in your 
case) to the solution that would put you to the risk of loosing messages.

We can think of some other solution in the future, like giving you the MID 
of the affected messages in a special e-mail sent by YoSucker, so that you 
can delete the message without launching your web browser... But for now 
there is no way how to stop this...

...well, if it really bothers you and you want to undertake the above 
stated risk of losing messages, follow the instructions bellow. 

HOWEVER I WOULD NOT DO THAT, IT IS VERY RISKY, THINK TWICE ABOUT IT! IT'S 
ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!

you can comment the line 1599 of the sputnik.pm; just put # in at the 
begining of the line, changing this...

$headeritmz[0] = "---".$headeritmz[0] if (! ($ddate || $ffrom || $tto));

into this...

# $headeritmz[0] = "---".$headeritmz[0] if (! ($ddate || $ffrom || $tto));

BUT I DO NOT THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA AGAIN!

Hope this helps a bit! Have a nice evening!

Vlad
