Re: [evolution-patches] Patch: Camel stream filter waits properly for slow streams



Adding some people and mailing lists in CC

Reattaching patch for Evolution-hackers mailing list.

Please bring this upstream too, José

Response from Jeffrey:

jeff_ yea, you should compare against -1
jeff_ as long as it returns >0, it wrote all the data
jeff_ -1 is error
jeff_ 0 is EOF maybe
jeff_ if write even returns 0 ever
