The same message was sent twice to me, once straight from Hotmail and once relayed through MailAndNews. The same parts were missing both times, but there is nothing special about the parts. The first message that showed up like that, she'd used a lot of the Hotmail graphical smiley faces and such, so I thought that might have been the problem, but on this next one she just used text and it cuts off from the middle of a word down through the end of that particular paragraph, then it picks it up again. Here's an example of a message received through Imail...
"Oops, I have another hiccup attack, I'm still in pain from earlier on today, so I best go, get these stopped before they tear a hole in my chest-do you ever get crazy bouts of the hiccups where they just stay with you for a whole day? I do, and I h
Take care,
the hiccupper :)"
And here's the same message fragment on MailAndNews...
"Oops, I have another hiccup attack, I'm still in pain from earlier on today, so I best go, get these stopped before they tear a hole in my chest-do you ever get crazy bouts of the hiccups where they just stay with you for a whole day? I do, and I hate it muchly!
Take care,
the hiccupper :)"
As you can see, it didn't cut off much, but the fact that it didn't just take it straight off the end of the message struck me as odd, as well. This one just happened to occur at the end of the message, but before the "Take care" part. Sometimes it occurs in the middle of the message, deleting the last few lines off of a paragraph there, then picking back up where it left off with no further problems. It's only happening with this one sender, too, my other friends with Hotmail accounts' email comes through fine. I have the "max size" on the server set to 0, as well as the "max message" count, and I'm nowhere near the 25 megs I allowed for my mailbox.
