In article <621@aut.UUCP> huber@aut.UUCP (Huber Daniel) writes: When I change to the folder "=sent" (which is the folder who contains the sent messages) I get the error message : "Folder is corrupt. Can't read it!" and then ELM terminate. The problem might be that your mailer writes From_ lines that look like: From huber <date and time> remote from aut instead of: From aut!huber <date and time> Elm cannot does not recognize "remote from" lines, and produces the "mailbox corrupt" message when it encounters one. I am contemplating trying to patch it to fix that, as I regularly get mail from sites that produce such From_ lines. Whether or not such lines conform to any RFC, they are common existing practice and I consider it a bug in Elm that they are not supported. -- David J. MacKenzie <djm@eng.umd.edu> <djm@ai.mit.edu>
