    initial v3  
    55Also - You need to do the same for the $content variable too if you haven't done that: 
    66 
    7 preg_replace("/'/","\\'",$content), 
     7 preg_replace("/'/","\\'",$content), 
    88 
    99I still had the issue on [http://advertising-info.org/ advertising-info.org] so I started throubleshooting some more. It has cost me about 10 hours to find what the issue was. Finally I found it (it's a bug in the standard wordpress code and it is up to 2.0.5 so I got to report this to the wp coders as well): 
    … …  
    1111In class-pop3.php (in /wp-includes/) there is the following line in the function "get": 
    1212 
    13 while ( !ereg("^\.\r\n",$line)) 
     13 while ( !ereg("^\.\r\n",$line)) 
    1414 
    1515This is incorrect! What happens I think is the following: if a certain message had a "." on a newline (I think this may happen for instance if the "." was just cut-off by the the max lenght of the line and was therefore placed on the next line, or when someone just placed a dot on a line and then a \r\n return/newline.) 
    … …  
    1717To fix this issue: swap the above to this: 
    1818 
    19 while (!feof($fp)) 
     19 while (!feof($fp)) 
    2020 
    2121While in fact this will not do much (I do not think that the mail server will actually report an end-of-file) the following piece of the "get" function will now kick-in; 
    2222 
    23 if(empty($line)) { break; } 
     23 if(empty($line)) { break; } 
    2424 
    2525And stop reading from the mail server when the end of the message was reached. 
    … …  
    3030 
    3131If you want to test for yourself if this is the issue you are having, simply change the code in class-pop3.php to the following: 
    32  
     32{{{ 
    3333while (!feof($fp)) 
    3434{ 
    … …  
    4242break; } 
    4343} 
    44  
     44}}} 
    4545This will output all the lines while reading from the mail server (you can see the output of this by manually runing postie from the options in WP)
