A shocking 650 to 700 of them fail to parse with gmime-2.6. No > failures are reported with gmime-2.4. This *is* shockingly high, and very confusing. Somehow all of the tests pass? That's very strange, particularly since there are enough real messages used in the tests that we should experience at least one of these failures, right? Is there really nothing special about the messages that are failing to parse? Your later patches seem to indicate that this has something to do with mbox, although you don't mention that hear. I thought I had been using gmime-2.6 for the last month, so I was very skeptical of this issue. Unfortunately I just found a bug in the configure script [0] that meant I had actually been using gmime-2.4. However, since fixing things and actually using gmime-2.6 now, I still don't see any problems. If the problem is specific to mbox, which we explicitly don't support, I don't think this is tragic enough to warrant removing gmime-2.6 as a dependency satisfier for 0.12 in Debian. In an event, a more explicit description of the problem you're seeing would be helpful. jamie.
