Thread: "[no subject] Unknown" messages in archives
Some of the list archives show several "[no subject] Unknown" messages near the top of the page. For example: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/index.php The messages themselves appear to be fragments of other messages. For example, http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg00036.php is the end of http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg00035.php as shown in the complete message at Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/pgsql.hackers/msg/cf87acb33580e936 Is it a coincidence that the above message has a paragraph that beings with "From " and that the message is split at that paragraph, and that said paragraph is absent in the two message fragments? Methinks that paragraph is being interpreted as the start of a new message, which would explain why the "[no subject] Unknown" messages have no subject or date -- the paragraph beginning with "From " is treated as the headers with the following paragraphs as the body. -- Michael Fuhr
