            Bug ID: 466422
           Summary: org.kde.pim.pop3resource: Got unexpected job data:
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kdepim
           Version: 5.21.3
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Part of the wayland-session.log showing the problem.  This NOT a complete
email.

SUMMARY

KDE console output ("wayland-session.log") contains lines like:
org.kde.pim.pop3resource: Got unexpected job data: t
along with complete dumps of email items (I think the ones just read from the
pop server).
Note this is Gentoo with OpenRC, so Systemd is not involved.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start KDE under Wayland (in my case with /usr/bin/dbus-launch
--exit-with-session startplasma-wayland) and redirect console output to a file
in the usual way.
2. Use Kontact to view new messages - using a pop3 server

OBSERVED RESULT
1) The console output contains long copies of the email files.  I don't think
this appears under X11, which to me is weird, but reading an Arch Linux blog
about their tweaks for Systemd, maybe isn't so weird.
Note: I consider this the main part of the problem
2) Every so often, a line starting "org.kde.pim.pop3resource: Got unexpected
job data:" appears.  This line is particularly interesting:  I've noticed for
ages that some emails I get are slightly corrupted.  Typically they are from
the Daily Telegraph, and the symptom is various embedded URLs linking to their
feature pages omit a character, often the full stop in ".co.uk" or similar.  I
reported the problem to the Telegraph, but they said it wasn't at their end. 
Unfortunately, I only notice the corrupted emails occasionally, so this might
not be the same issue, but the coincidence is striking!
That said, the vast majority of emails arrive OK, whereas the "unexpected data"
message seems to appear for every email, so it may be some artifact to do with
buffer lengths or something.
This is not a particularly severe issue for me, but it may be indicating
something important and related, so I've included it.

I suspect this problem also occurs under X11, but I'm currently only seeing it
on Wayland as I'm trying to convert to using it all the time. 

EXPECTED RESULT
No long dumps of emails in session logs, and no unexpected characters.
More important, if it does turn out to be related, no corrupted emails.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.26.5
(available in About System)
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Attached, part of one email dump.  The unexpected data "Received: from
127.0.0.1" is common, but other examples can appear later, and seem to be
pretty random.  This one isn't from the Telegraph, as theirs tend to be huge!
