#127104: squirrelmail is buggy with empty INBOX (very very nasty) 
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=127104&repeatmerged=yes>

I'm fairly sure I forwarded this before... but I don't have time right 
now to check...

Package: squirrelmail
Version: 1.2.0-1

Dear programmers,

If I log in to squirrelmail with a user who hasn't got any mail at INBOX
actually (so the /var/mail/user is 0 byte long), and after that she
receives a mail, and I refresh the page (so the list show the one mail),
and I click on this mail, I will got a lot of these messages:
Warning: Variable passed to reset() is not an array or object in /usr/share/squirrelmail/src/read_body.php on line 87
Warning: Variable passed to key() is not an array or object in /usr/share/squirrelmail/src/read_body.php on line 87
Warning: Variable passed to prev() is not an array or object in /usr/share/squirrelmail/src/read_body.php on line 89
Warning: Variable passed to key() is not an array or object in /usr/share/squirrelmail/src/read_body.php on line 90

Warning: Variable passed to key() is not an array or object in /usr/share/squirrelmail/src/read_body.php on line 56

And MBs of this message come from squirrelmail (yeah, my lynx eaten up
all of my memory in a minute ;) ).

Oh, and the worst:
If I start with an empty INBOX, and I switch the folder, and I click on
any mail in any other folder, the same thing happens!

SO A USER WITH NO MAIL CAN'T HANDLE HER PREVIOUS MAILS, ONLY IF SHE SENDS
A DUMMY MAIL TO HERSELF BEFORE!

I have tested it with uw-imapd and mailutils-imapd also, however I can
do the same thing with my pretty mutt, so this isn't a bug in the imapd.

Sorry for the capitals, but squirrelmail is an another GNU program,
which occupied two hours from my life.

Oh, and the bug also come if I have got the hidden mail in the users
