Work around a line-length limit in poplib Work around a limitation in python2.7 implementation of poplib (for the pop3 protocol for fetching emails): It seems poplib applies a line-length limit not just to the lines involving the pop3 protocol but to any email content, too. This sometimes leads to tracebacks whenever an email exceeding this limit is encountered. We "fix" this by monkey-patching poplib with a larger line-limit. Thanks to Heiko Stegmann for discovering this.

Debugging Aids
--------------

Try turning on logging of DEBUG level messages. This may be done a number
of ways, depending on what it is you're testing:

1. If you're testing the database unit tests, then set the environment
   variable ``LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG``. This may be done like so:

    LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG python run_tests.py

   This variable replaces the older HYPERDBDEBUG environment var.

2. If you're testing a particular tracker, then set the logging level in
   your tracker's ``config.ini``.

SENDMAILDEBUG
=============

Set to a filename and roundup will write each email message
that it sends to that file instead to the internet. 
This environment variable is independent of the python -O flag.
