Sun 19 Feb 2006 12:33:41 AM UTC, comment #4: Ok, it's interesting. The program "show" from nmh does not like the message after it had gone through Lyris. But comparing the two messages ('before' and 'after') line by line, I'm not sure exactly what went wrong. Earl, can you point out the problem a little more explicitly? I'm ready to send a bug report over to Lyris, but I'm not exactly sure what to point at. |

Sun 19 Feb 2006 12:15:47 AM UTC, comment #3: I had the poster send a message to the list, and also put me personally on the BCC: line. The goal was to find out where the problem occurred. Mhonarc is quite happy with the message until after it goes through the list server. Current hypothesis: list server is doing something bad. List server appears to be LYRIS according to headers. |

Tue 10 Jan 2006 05:37:51 AM UTC, comment #1: I suspect this is due to the unusual triple MIME section (text/html/text) MIME sections and may be actually be a mhonarc buglet. Probably the MUA is providing the first two sections, and the list server is tacking on the third. |

It's a little weird, mhonarc appears to be consuming messages from a particular list poster. It tends to eat everything but the footer of the message. I am not sure if there is corruption involved in the message body, but I'm definitely not seeing any warnings from mhonarc. See attachment for raw message in MH format. |

Corresponding source code
The HTML is malformed, causing the HTML filter to remove
almost all of the content.
The HTML has duplicate <head>...</head> sections, with the
dup at the very end of the HTML part of the message. MHonArc
removes the <head> component, and the regex is greedy, so
it deletes everything 'til the last </head> tag. Unfortunately,
for this message, the last </head> tag appears near the
end of the message since the the dup <head>...</head>
occurs after the </body>.
I'm unsure how you would like to proceed. The HTML filter
could be made more robust to deal with such abominations, but
it may impact performance.
Since this problem is separate from what this bug item is
initially about (and this item is currently closed), I
request you submit a new bug. You can use for the description
my explanation of the real problem described above.
