Subject: [NTISP] MS OE dot-termination patch available for
3.1.2 Post.Office
>Regarding the problems with MS OE and Post.Office:
>
>Previously Software.com had debugged the issue with MS OE
client "hangs"
>that resulted from a problem in OE regarding the
termination of a message.
>A workaround is available in the 3.5.3 release of
Post.Office. The
>activation steps have been posted to this list, or they are
available from
>support@software.com.
>
>This did not help those of you with version 3.1.2, of
course. We've
>corrected that oversight, and we now have a patch available
(a replacement
>POP-Server binary) that implements the same workaround that
is in 3.5.3 for
>the MS OE bug.
>
>We believe this solves all the known or documented "hangs"
encountered with
>the MS OE client. We're not terribly comfortable with this
workaround since
>it must modify the body of the message (it inserts an extra
carriage-return,
>which should have no visible effect since it is not coupled
with a
>line-feed), but since the alternative (getting your
customers to upgrade to
>the fixed version of MS OE) is not too attractive, we are
making the
>workaround available to those who wish to use it.
>
>Please contact support@software.com for the patch and
information on
>activating the workaround.
