POP handler bug
[1/1] from: gchiu::compkarori::co::nz at: 19-Sep-2002 23:32
I think this is a bug from Rebol year . :)
Try this:
msg: {.^/.^/}
send [myself--where--com] msg
and from Rebol
mailbox: open pop://userid:[password--pop3--where--com]
print last mailbox
I get:
..
..
back as the content.
The POP3 server uses "." as a termination character, and
so when it sees a single "." in the message, it
byte-stuffs the termination character
according to
RFC1939.
The current implementation neglects to remove the stuffed
byte and so we see ".." rather than "."
My email client correctly removes the extra "."
