[Users] Mbox import has failed.

[Adrian]

Sorry.  What I mean is I get an Error box with the subject line, i.e.
"Mbox import has failed".

After the first time I later found that 5001 mails had imported.
The .mbx file is pretty large.  I then found the point in the file
where import stopped.  No obvious problems around there, but I created
a file starting from a few mails later and tried to import that - with
the same failure.  This time no mails imported at all.

Using a text editor on the mbx file reports invalid characters, so I
piped it through strings -w.  Same error.

I found that some of the message delimiters, i.e. "From ???@???...."
were concatenated onto the last line of the previous message so I 

I'm now chopping the file into smaller files.  I'll start with just one
mail or two, process of elimination.

....aaah.  My line separators are \n and they should be \r\n.  I'll
repair, retry and repost if that was the reason - which I suspect it is.

Thanks

Adrian

I'm trying to import an mbox file (you guessed?)

And I get this error.

Now, I don't exactly blame Claws Mail for that.  To be honest, I've
faked up the mbox file by concatenating select individual mails from
other mbox files, and may have got something wrong.  The mails are not
in date order, for one thing.

But I really would like an idea of what Claws itself thinks is wrong!

Any ideas?
