23.0.90; Another failure to convert to mbox |
|
Date: |
Mon, 02 Feb 2009 11:44:53 +0000 |
I am attempting to convert my main mail file (96Mb) to mbox format.
It stpped after 105 messages having joined tne next message to it, and
apparently losing the other 17K messages
I cannot see anything wrong with the message being converted

It looks as if it has decided that the form is a quartic, but then
later finds that the x^2 term has a zero coefficient. It looks as if
I fail to deal with sqrts of perfect squares; I assume that the form
sqrt(x^2) has been simplified before it gets to this code. At one
level this is a simplification failure, or I could accept that it
happens and treat degenerate cases. A very simple paliative would be
to add a line "if null numr a then return nil" in look_for_quad, after
the line commented "Re-centre". The integral then fails, but does not
crash. I will give it a little more thought.

These two message are treated as one
I have hacked all the other mail mail files to mbox, but this one has me
totally confused.

I believe this indicates you have processed the message with the
add-on rmime.el at some point. This should be fixed, as of 2009-02-07,
provided that rmime.el is available when you run unrmail.
