I am getting a lot of imported NNTP messages with "empty message body" as content.

I have logged on to the server and I can see content in these messages with a standard news reader.

Any ideas?

I've seen it as well. The newly added MIME parser doesn't cope too well with badly formatted MIME posts.

Maybe later.

Workaround is to back-out this patch: http://fudforum.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fudforum/trunk/install/forum_dat a/include/nntp.inc?r1=4689&r2=4713&sortby=file

Can you please test to see if this will fix it ->

Edit include/nntp.inc, find:

$this->body = $text_body;  // Replace multipart mime by the text body


and replace it with:

if ($text_body) {
	$this->body = $text_body;  // Replace multipart mime by the text body.
}

That did it!

So far imported a few hundred messages and I can't find any more empty ones.

Thank you!

Hmmmm... I have a ton of posts in my forum like that, but unfortunately the NNTP newsgroup that they were sync'd from has gone offline, likely permanently, meaning re-importing them properly isn't an option. Can this be applied to a forum *retroactively* to fix them?

It cannot be applied "retroactively" and it is unlikely that you had the same problem. Only badly formatted MIME messages imported with FUDforum 3.x were blanked out.

The problem was introduced with the contributed MIME handler for USENET posts. Pity nobody bothered to test the RC releases well enough to pick it up.
