Oulook Express 6 Truncating Downloaded Messages.
Porter Woodward
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. Outlook Express
6.0 (6.0000.2600.0000) is truncating the download of any messages (with
attachments) that are over 36 - 40 Kb in size. The attachements are then of
course garbled, and cannot be opened. This occurs whether the message is an
email, or a newsgroup posting...
I started to notice the behaviour after I did a "compact all" on my folders.
Shortly thereafter messages started being truncated. The progress meter in
the lower portion of the window indicates how much of the message it has
downloaded - it crawls along for the first second, and then jumps to the
end! Skipping the rest of the message download. Is there some setting that
I somehow tripped that causes OE to truncate messages?
This is really, really irritating, my co-workers can't send me large
attachements (100Kb) without them being truncated.

not a problem with OE - it appears it's my ISP's news server. I've tried a
different news reader against their server, and the same thing happens... I
am getting the entire message though, and manually processing it with
UUDECODE, but something about their news server is garbling the contents of
the UUCODED data...
When I use OE against another news server, it appears to work fine.
