[Glastonbury] Re: Glastonbury Digest, Vol 93, Issue 1 - a query

Thu Sep 15 15:31:01 BST 2005

A query....... I am using KMail in what was Mandrake, forget offhand its 
recent new name. 

I have a strange result when selecting "reply" to the message below (this is 
the "reply"). My intention was to delete all the messages except those from 
Ian Dickinson - ie I've already thanked Alistair & Cherry for their comments 
and was intending to thank Ian for his. To my mystification, "reply" has 
repeated below only the first 3 messages. The others are missing! I was so 
surprised I tried this several times and even closed & reopened KMail - no 
change.

As you see, both Ian's messages - Nos 4 and 6  - plus one of Alistair's - are 
missing which is how I noticed the omission.

So I'm curious - has anyone got an answer to this? I don't recall this ever 
happening before - I have often used this method to reply to a long digest 
whether from GLUG or elsewhere and many of the digests have been far longer 
than this one. Of course it could be KMail always missed the last 3 messages 
and I just didn't realise it............ but could I not realise time and 
time again? 

Is there a setting in KMail, that restricts length? I do encounter strange 
bugs in KMail now and again so perhaps it's just having one of its periodic 
mad jollies today. I'll keep the mail and see if this happens when I reboot.
