Problems with Pegasus crashing on newmail from gmail (usually DKIM sigs)

Thanks very much.

I updated as you suggested and restored the two offending .cnm files which now opened ok.

Hi

I've had several instances of  Pegasus crashing on attempting to open new mails. These have all originated from gmail and three of four had DKIM and other long headers (not sure of fourth). Yesterday I had two of these and resulting system lockups caused me a lot of pain.

Checking back through most recent emails I find this is not a general problem with gmail and  DKIM as there are another 34 such emails that didn't cause a problem.

On previous occasion I found that stripping the extra long headers from the .cnm file allowed the email to be viewed or alternately which was easier prepending  "X-" to start of header also appeared to work. I'm guessing there is some line length count issue involved.

Yesterday I just removed the offending cnm files.

Is there any method I could auto strip out these headers either in Mercury or Pegasus?

 When I first had the problem a few months ago I thought this might be because both Mercury and Pegasus were very dated versions so I grabbed downloaded and installed Pegasus 4.41 and Mercury 4.5 but the offending .cnm files at that time still caused new version of Pegasus to crash (otherwise I'm very pleased with seemless update and improvements).

 
Regards


David
