Missing line break after boundary string lets conversion fail about partial-emlx-converter

Thanks. Any chance you could supply me with a test file (I'd understand that this might be difficult due to privacy concerns, but I thought I just ask).

I'll try to have a look at this one -- those boundaries in combination with newlines gave me quite some headache during development :-)

Thank you for your reply. I will supply you with the smallest sample I can find in my archive.

However the missing line break is always at the end of the emlx file between the boundary and the XML start:

I've just been investigating this, and I'm a little surprised that the boundary string before the XML only ends with a single -. According to the spec, the close delimiter is supposed to look like this:

close-delimiter := delimiter "--"

Out of curiosity: Is this the case with many of your emails? Are they all from a mailing list or does this happen with other emails as well?

Every time the conversion fails, I move the offending mail out of the source folders. I am still not done with this.

Searching for "==-<" gives me 23 results in the rejects folder.

If I am not mistaken all mails are related to mailing lists managed by mailman.
