Subject: [sup-talk] Problem with mbox format
Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2007 12:30:30 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1192123770-sup-3583@chris-tablet> (raw)
I've been having some problems with messages that appear to confuse the
mbox parser. For example, if, by chance, one of my messages contains
"From now on" and this starts a new line, I get this error when sup
tried to store the sent message in sent.mbox:
The problem was: 'no message-id field in header {} (source sup://sent offset 3998037)' (error type Redwood::MessageFormatError)
A backtrace follows:
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.1/lib/sup/message.rb:111:in `read_header': no message-id field in header {} (source sup://sent offset 3998037) (Redwood::MessageFormatError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.1/lib/sup/message.rb:110:in `each'

from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.1/lib/sup/util.rb:437:in `__pass'
... 7 levels...
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.1/lib/sup/buffer.rb:181:in `handle_input'
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.1/bin/sup:186
from /usr/bin/sup:16:in `load'
from /usr/bin/sup:16
After this, only the part of the message before the "From " line is
visible in sup. The entire message is in sent.mbox, however. Seems like
a parsing error/escaping error on sup's part. If I knew Ruby, I would
take a look at the code. Perhaps I'll have to teach myself some Ruby.
Also, if I save a message like this for later editing, lines that start
with "From " have a '>' perpended to them which I must delete.
(Which mbox format is sup using, by the way?)
