CompuServe Mail Software for Newton 2.0: Large E-mail Issue

TECHINFO-0020355

TOPIC

When I receive a large e-mail with my Message Pad 130, the e-mail is split into 5 KB segments by CompuServe Mail Software for Newton 2.0, but a lot of the text is lost in the process. To test, I sent myself a 38 KB message and found that about 1000 bytes were missing between parts 1 and 2, and about 1500 bytes were lost between each of the other parts.

DISCUSSION

CISmail sometimes miscalculates the vertical size of a message displayed with a large point font. Long sections of text may become cut off because the vertical arrows will not scroll far enough to display the bottom of the message.

Workaround

1. Open the In Box
2. Select CompuServe Prefs (from the "I" button).
3. Click on mail font button.
4. Choose either a 9 point, or 10 point font size.
