[drats_users] drats_users Digest, Vol 20, Issue 17

[Larry Mohr]

Dan,

Killing all the files in my email directories did the job.   Wonder why it
only occurred on the new download?

"Ignore" allowed access to D-rats ok, but I couldn't get the reflector to
retransmit the NET reply when I did some test chats using RF.

I'll get some of the guys to get on the reflector with me a check it out
further.

Thank you,

Larry K9LMM

Hi Larry,

Okay, I don't *think* this is related specifically to 0.3.2, I think
it's just chance, but I could be wrong :)

And what happens when you ignore? 

> parserError: xmlParseMemory() failed

This particular message means that you have a message in one of your
folders that is broken.  Unfortunately, it's not easy to tell which one
from the information we have.

So the path forward depends on whether you can ignore it or not.

If you can ignore it and get into D-RATS, you could start by trying to
open each message in your inbox until you see another error.  When you
find it, delete it and then the problem should go away.

If you can't ignore it, then we'll need to try removing all the
messages.  If we go this route, I'll have you send me a zip of the
message folder so I can figure out what happened.

So, let me know if you can't ignore the error and I'll cook up
instructions for the more drastic approach.

Thanks!
