- Well I just spent three hours trying to find out what caused this to happen
- on my systems after the PL8 upgrade. What I discovered was the Content_Length:
- header was being queried and if it was incorrect about the true length, elm
- would croak. It was only happening to one user and if she hadn't just received
- a letter from a friend at Sun with a Length of 0 it would have taken longer
- than it did to find the problem. As soon as I changed the length to the right
- size, all was O.K.
-
- This is going to cause a lot of headaches since some sites stick in the header,
- then don't do anything with it !!
-
- If mime support is not being built in, why care about the Content at all ???
