I think I saw behavior like this when I first tried IMAP using Kyle
Jones's code. But I don't see it now.
One possibility is that the IMAP server is reporting wrong size for
the message. To check this, please do the following:
- put (setq vm-imap-size-debug t) in your .vm.preferences file
- put (setq vm-imap- keep-trace- buffer t) in your .vm.preferences file
- after you see some funny percentages, go to the buffer menu and find
the most recent IMAP trace buffer. The name will be something like:
trace of IMAP ...(server) ...(time)
In the trace buffer you should see queries for SIZE as well as
information about how many bytes were received. If there is a serious
mismatch, then you know where the funny percentages come from.
I will also add some debug messages to the code to help us track this
down.
Cheers,
Uday
