Subject: Message to save shrank. Pine 4.44

From: Andrew Miranker <[email-masked]>

Searching through the archives this is clearly an
old problem.  Upon trying to save a message to a local
folder, the save fails with the following error.

[Message to save shrank!  (#1: 8227 --> 1119)]

While this has been discussed for previous versions of pine,
I have not found a posted solution.  Can someone please post
the solution?  Thanks.

I am using pine 4.44 under windows 2000.  I do not
have this problem with other imap clients, e.g. netscape
to the same server.

Sincerely

Andrew Miranker

I had this problem for quite a long time, but never found any other fix
for this than forwarding all my mail to another imap-server, which didn't
create this error.

Which imap-server are you using? My provider used an IMail thing, running
on NT.

I get the same problem, but I'm not using imap - as
all my mail and folders are file based

 Most of the time the errors show up when attempting
to save unsolicited SPAM, so I suspected bad headers
or improper charcters in the file.

I forgot to mention that I only had the problems while saving messages
with attachments.

I used to get this error message when trying to save messages from a POP3
inbox to local folders, usually when the POP3 connection had already been
open for a while.  I thought, although I never tested it rigorously, that
this was due to termination of the POP3 connection part-way through saving
the message.  Maybe this is also happening to your IMAP connection?

As a workaround, I created a local folder called Local_Inbox, and I now
save all incoming mail to Local_Inbox, and expunge it from the POP3 inbox,
as soon as I've made the connection.  I then use Local_Inbox like a real
inbox.  This minimizes the time for which I rely on the connection staying
up.  The problem has very rarely occured since.  Something similar has
already been suggested (by Atle Weibell,) except with a second IMAP
mailbox instead of a local one.
