Can't break out of loop that creates objects

[iamsmooth]

Hey guys:

I'm having trouble breaking out of a loop that takes input from a file. I can only break it if I make a code that specifies how many inputs there are and makes it stop when it reaches the max input. I think it has to do with me using these in class default constructors, but this is how it has to be done for my assignment. This is a program that simulates a messaging system.

Basically .eof(), .fail(), none of that is working

This is my first class:

MailSystem::MailSystem() // class constructor that creates a vector full of all message objects
{
	ifstream fin; // declaring fin
	fin.open("mail.txt"); // this is the text file
	// int count = 0; // this count is used to break the loop with cheat code below

	while (!fin.eof())
	{
		// if (count == 20) break;  /* when this is uncommented, it works, because there are only 20 messages in the text file. */
		Message createMessageInstance(fin); // creates instance and passes fin to class below
		systemMessages.push_back(createMessageInstance); /* this is a vector previously declared and it pushes back all the messages one by one */
		// count++; // increment count to cheat and bypass
	}
}

This is the class that the first class refers to, the objects here create individual objects with variables containing components of a message:

Message::Message(istream& fin) // this is the class constructor that creates individual message objects through initialization
{
	fin >> messageNum;  // takes input into all of these variables
	getline(fin, status);
	getline(fin, sender);
	getline(fin, recipient);
	getline(fin, subject);

	while (message != "EOF")  // this last code gets string for message body
	{
		messageBody.append(message);
		if (messageBody != "")
		{
			messageBody.append("\n");		
		}
		getline(fin, message);		
}

And this is the textfile that fin reads from, you don't really have to read this. First number is message number, second char is status (R for read, N for New), second line is sender, 3rd line is recipient, 4th line is subject, 5th line until "EOF" is the body of the message. Just skip to the bottom, don't bother reading:

What were you thinking?
Harry,

You seriously need to stop claiming your paperclip orders under
the heading art supplies.

Hi Harry,

Dell is selling computers with key loggers.  Apparently the RCMP

I can’t believe I ate the whole thing.
Hi Jemma,

Your cake was delicious.  I actually ate the whole thing last night.
What was your secret ingredient?  You promised you’d tell me after I
ate it.

Expense Report
Jason,

The expense report you filled out was missing a 356B attachment.
I'm sure you just forgot it.  Please bring it over to my office
when you can.

Sorry about that, I thought that the 67FGH report cover included

Hi Jason,

I don’t think we can make it to dinner on Thursday‐‐‐Julia’s knees

Dinner Next Week
Hi Bob,

Of course I knew that about Julia, I’m sorry that I didn’t think about
that ahead of time.  How about next Wednesday you come over for
Mexican, and we’ll skip the football?

There are 20 messages in total. When I use the cheatcode that breaks the loop after 20 iterations, the whole code works perfectly, but I can't keep the code, because I need to implement a function that can compose more messages and writes them to file.

Everything gets read in perfectly, but it doesn't know when to stop and I get an infinite loop on run where it just hangs before finishing the vector. Sorry for the long post, please help. I really can't figure this out...
