Package: gmailfs
Version: 0.7.2-2

When trying to read a file from gmailfs file system does not work.
Writing goes ok, and the attachment in the gmail message contains the
file, uncorrupted.

I opened a Gmail account 27 feb 2007, and tried to switch from Swedish
to English to see if it solved the problem. It did not, obviously.

To recreate the misbehaviour:

* start from scratch with all gmail messages deleted (obviously, you may
not want to do this as you may have interesting stuff on your account.
This is what I did, it is probably not needed to recreate the misbehaviour.)

*mount the system with
/sbin/mount.gmailfs  none $mntpnt -o
username=$username,password=$password,fsname=$fsname
where I have set the $mntpnt etc. to proper values. (just in case you
wondered...)

*create a file:
cp afile $mntpnt

*(the file now shows up in an attachment in gmail inbox, not corrupted).

*try to read the file:
cat $mntpnt/afile

Then the following error message arrives on the screen:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Ogiltigt argument

the file was not readable!

*the file is still ok in gmail inbox.

I also tried with -e to make it encrypted. It does not work either.
