[Dovecot] 1.0-test53 and 'Junk in start of group' messages
Hello.
I am using dovecot-1.0-test53 with Maildir mailstore, with pine 4.61 as MUA.
I have several folders which cause error messages like 'Junk in start of group' in Pine when I read them. I googled a bit for this, and found that removing the index file should do the trick, but unfortunately, it does not.
What can I do to make these annoying messages disappear ?
Thanks in advance.

This happens with badly formatted messages, for example with the To: fields set to nothing (undisclosed-recipients), or the From: set to "spammer <>" for example.

What Pine version? 4.44 didn't complain anything when I tried. But my response to ENVELOPE is different than UW-IMAP, so maybe I'll have to change it..

It is Pine 4.61.

I have seen this too, currently running Pine 4.61 and dovecot-0.99.11 (and also seen in earlier pine and dovecot-0.99.10.4). I never did pin down what it was about a message that caused it to happen, so Nicolas' information above is helpful.
I saw it quite recently when accessing an old folder (possibly one without an index), but going through recently accessed folders now I can't get the 'junk in group' message to appear again. Perhaps once the index is built it isn't a problem.
I think I used to see it a lot more with mail from a certain list. Then, Pine would keep displaying messages of this sort, with about 5 secs between, and wouldn't allow any keystrokes. Had to kill off the process. (I actually had to read those mailing list message digests in another client for a while to work around it). I see it far less now than I used to; whether that's because dovecot upgrade fixed it, Pine fixed it, or the mailing list digest was fixed, I don't know ...
Not sure any of that helps. I might do some more experimenting.
Jethro.

Here is the IMAP trace I get when opening a folder containing a single badly formatted message:

Does this helps ?
