Subject: Mangled or omitted addresses reading IMAP email (Bug/config problem?)

When reading email with pine 4.21 or 4.44 from an Imap account
(Lotus notes server) I get mangled or omitted email addresses
when the email has been send to several addresses. When I look at the full
header, everything looks fine. The problem comes in two flaviors:
First, an email with several CC's. The full header looks as follows
(omitting Received fields):

> Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2002 16:34:45 +0100 (MET)
> From: Guido Schaefer <[email-masked]>
> To: Susan Hert <[email-masked]>
> cc: Tobias Polzin <[email-masked]>, Lutz Kettner <[email-masked]>

> X-Authentication-Warning: contact.mpi-sb.mpg.de: schaefer owned process
>     doing -bs
> X-Sender: schaefer@contact
> MIME-Version: 1.0

The mangled version in the normal header looks like:

> Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2002 16:34:45 +0100 (MET)
> From: Guido Schaefer <[email-masked]>
> To: Susan Hert <[email-masked]>

Note the second CC entry. It also happens with other names (not mine).
That confuses of course a Reply All quite a bit :-(

The second flavior is with multiple addresses in one To: field.
All but the first address are omitted. The full header:

> From: Tobias Polzin <[email-masked]>
> To: [email-masked], [email-masked], [email-masked]

The normal header (with omitted addresses):

> From: Tobias Polzin <[email-masked]>
> To: [email-masked]

Any idea what causes that and what to do about it? I checked
FAQ and this list going back one year and saw nothing applicable
(and I hope it's the right list to report this problem).
I use pine pretty much out of the box with its addressbook (no
rules/roles/...).

Best regards,

Lutz

These problems seem to be due to your Lotus notes server, which is known
to have a number of issues which render it incompatible with compliant
IMAP software.
