The problem showed up when I attempted to use the Emacs mailreader on a
mail file stored in a remote MSDOS filesystem and I discovered that many
messages, including their headers, were corrupted. The corruption does
not show up if I use the Emacs mailreader on the system where the mail
files are actually stored.
Some more details about my environment.
System A (`russula') is running the 2.0.32 kernel, with the environment
based on the Slackware distribution. System B (`pleurotus') is running
the 2.0.32 kernel, with the environment based on the SuSE 5.3
distribution. The MSDOS filesystem (dos_e) is mounted on russula. Thus
pleurotus is running the client and russula is running the server. I
don't have the problem if I reverse the relationship, making pleurotus
the server and russula the client. I have tried mounting dos_e both
with and without CR/LF translation; I get the corruption either way
(though I normally run with translation on).
