Comment 4 for bug 633532

Hi Uday,

I'm not using IMAP at all. I use fetchmail, and messages are fetched
all at once from a crash box.

What does that mean, headers-only operation? How can I check to see
whether I am using it or not? The messages are displayed in the INBOX
Presentation buffer.

There is one bit of custom code that happens when a message is chosen
in the Summary window. I'll try turning that off and see how that
does. I had forgotten all about it.

Best,
Bar

| The "Retrieving message body..." message comes about when the message body

| When I use auto-archive to save a bunch of messages from my inbox to the places listed in my auto-archive-alist, I get an annoying mess in the minibuffer:
|
| 24 archived, still working...
| Retrieving message body... done
| 1 message saved to /Users/bar/mail/python
| 25 archived, still working...
| Retrieving message body... done
| 1 message saved to /Users/bar/mail/python
| 26 archived, still working...
| Retrieving message body... done
| 1 message saved to /Users/bar/mail/python
| 27 archived, still working...
|
| which just looks like a blur at the speed at which vm works.
| What happened to the old way? It was like this:
| 27 archived, still working...
| 27 archived, still working...
| 27 archived, still working...
| 27 archived, still working...
| 27 archived, still working...
| (pretend incrementation, there)
| so that one would see the numbers change in the minibuffer... much more informative and less scary. =)
