Dear fellow capsuleers and Eve API tinkerers.

I have some requests against the Mail bodies API URL (https://api.eveonline.com/char/MailBodies.xml.aspx/) that seem to be failing when only one message ID is in error.

I have one message ID that causes the following behaviour (message ID is 325818399 for those from CCP who read this).
Note that this message ID is part of the messages returned by MailMessages.xml.aspx, so it is an existing one.

* If I query this single message ID, the API returns a 500 - internal server error.

* If I query many message ID(s) that include the failed one, I also get a 500 - internal server error.

* If I query many messages ID(s) that do NOT include the failed one, it works like a charm like it used to.

So, the problem is, if any one of the message IDs for a capsuleer fails, there is no way to retrieve a batch of mail bodes, forcing me to go one by one which is not a good solution.

It seems to me like it's a change in how the API responds to mail body requests. Anyone has any idea?

Thanks a lot for any response.

Good idea, I'll try that.
Thanks
