email subjects with colons are ignored

Submitted by Anonymous on 13. February 2009 - 18:22.

Using win32 ver 0.106
I've spent 2 days trying to migrate a large gmail account to google apps. Finally discovered why so many emails were missing every time. Gmail backup will not copy emails with subjects like Re: or Fwd: or even just "this doesn't work:"

‹ Emails with very long subject lines fail to save Error while saving e-mail ›

Colons in subject are not included in the save

I just noticed the same thing, and I have the latest version.

Any email with subject line of FW:info, etc, there will be an icon in the backed up files folder I chose, but there is no infomation downloaded and the icon cannot be opened. Can this be fixed? Or should I used the older version?
