#700 plain text digest bug in appending messages
Sometimes, messages are incorrectly appended in the plain digests, which cause 2 or more messages to be attached to 1. For example, I got a digest which mentions one message in the Topic list, but at the end of this message, the next message is "glued" to the bottom of it:
(...top of first message...)

Return-Path: <EMAILADDR@aol.com>

(...second message continues with all it's headers and content)
As you can see, the "From..." of the second message starts directly after the last character of the first message.
Here's a second example:
(... top of first message...)
peace out:

(..second message continues...)
Again, the "From..." from the next message is glued to the previous message.
Is this a simple missing end of line issue or is it more complicated?
I can't seem to see a good pattern in it...

Is the first message originally in quoted-printable, with no
concluding blank line?
I have seen quite a lot of concatenated messages lately, and
in every instance that I've checked the first message is QP, is
multipart/alternative with the other part in html (stripped for
digest), and has the boundary immediately after the last line of
the QP part.
The problem affects MIME-digests as well as plaintext ones.
I have no clue how it might be fixed, or even where things are
going wrong, but maybe someone else can get a handle on it
from this info.

why was this bug closed, is it fixed in CVS?
