Hi, I've noticed that for some pictures posted as multiple parts, pan will fail to display the complete picture - seems it only shows what is contained in the first part, with the rest black or occasionally containing garbled parts of other pictures (i.e. smells of uninitialized memory).
If I "save attachments" for such a post, it always gets the complete picture, i.e. it seems the logic for combining the multiple parts differs between display and save. Also it doesn't happen for *all* multipart posts - I don't know what the "trigger" is, but here are two examples (totally random, only hunted down for the purpose of this message:-) from alt.binaries.pictures.wallpaper: Both are simple/dumb split uuencoding, which I guess is pretty common, but one fails to display while the other works fine: Fails: $ egrep '^(Subject|Message-ID)' pan-multipart-bad Subject: (4_Harley_Fan enjoy a few walls - [orange county choppers wallpaper.jpg (1/3) -- [file 18 of 18) - 908 KB Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: (4_Harley_Fan enjoy a few walls - [orange county choppers wallpaper.jpg (2/3) -- [file 18 of 18) - 908 KB Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: (4_Harley_Fan enjoy a few walls - [orange county choppers wallpaper.jpg (3/3) -- [file 18 of 18) - 908 KB Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Works: $ egrep '^(Subject|Message-ID)' pan-multipart-ok Subject: BitTorrent Biking - Aspen Ride, Telluride, Colorado.jpg (1/2) Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: BitTorrent Biking - Aspen Ride, Telluride, Colorado.jpg (2/2) Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (And no, the difference isn't two-vs-more parts, two-part posts may fail to display too.) Is this a known/unavoidable limitation of the display code, or just a plain bug? (Hoping for the latter...:-) FWIW, I've seen this both in 0.14.x and 0.10x (the above example was with 0.106), though in 0.14.x I had applied a patch for improved content-type guessing (was posted to the list) and so thought that this might be the culprit, but apparently not. --Per Hedeland _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
