The lf character will be intact inside the file. You should then set J file/attrib to either a fixed 512 with rat=none or to undefined rfm (whichL should have been the default for binary files from the start - the undefinedL record format is much underused considering it is the perfect fit to receiveK binary blobs of data.

This seemed to work I fine with my software for some time, but in the past week, it "broke". It I first IO thought it was just an illformed SPAM, but then I lost blatantly - legitimate emails (I don't get much traffic).   N My software would just pickup part of the header and then consider the message succesfully delivered.  J But now, I did a test of a simple text message about 60 lines long, and myN software pickups the header and the first line of text, which is terminated byN a few garbage characters. My software does not delete the message, which meansL that it either found an error (but didn't log it), or its DELE x command was discarded by the pop server.  M So my software continues to pickup that same message over and over again, and * it always exhibits the exact same problem.  N A telnet/port=110 does not work on microsoft servers because they think that aN packet contains a line and nothing more. So when you send the first charactersL of the USER <user> command, it complains that U is an invalid command. I wasJ however able to issue the SET MODE=LINE command for the telnet program, atN which point I am able to manually communicate with the microsoft software, and the message appears all intact.   M Before I delve into all of this, has anyone else experienced similar problems : trying to communicate with a microsoft server over TCPIP ?    J (This software has worked well over the years talking to various ISPs, butP this time, I am forced to pickup some merssages from that damned microsoft box.)   Any hints would be appreciated.    ------------------------------   End of INFO-VAX 2004.339 ************************                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      &BHWy3C9J<w
