Hi, I've just installed nntpcache. Things seem to work fine. However, I'm running into a problem with using pine as the newsreader. Basically, the first time I read an article (when the article does not come out of the cache but is fetched from my newsfeed), I get corrupted article contents in pine. Saving the article in a file, I find that every time an article does not come out of the cache but comes from my newsfeed instead, I get the following at the top: From MAILER-DAEMON Mon Nov 30 15:18:18 1998 Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1998 15:18:18 +1000 (EST) From: Mail System Internal Data <MAILER-DAEMON@triodia.com> Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA X-IMAP: 0912403098 0000000000 Status: RO This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software. If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created with the data reset to initial values. What follows (after a blank line) are the normal article headers you would expect: From michi@triodia.com Thu Nov 26 09:05:35 1998 -0500 Status: R X-Status: X-Keywords: Path: news.bix.asn.au!news.bri.connect.com.au!news.syd.connect.com.au!news.mel.connect.com.au!news-spur1.maxwell.syr.edu!news.maxwell.syr.edu!newsfeed.slurp.net!newsmaster!not-for-mail After I've read an article once and quit pine, then next time I read the same article, it comes from the cache and I don't get the INTERNAL DATA message at the top. So, reading an article out of the cache works fine. I've looked at the pine faq but can't find the solution to this problem. The problem is definitely not with my nntpcached as far as I can tell -- when I telnet directly to port 119 and fetch an article, the headers are OK. I'd appreciate any advice you may have -- I suspect it's a pine config error (I'm running 4.05).
