Hi,
2012-03-10 Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>
* mail/sendmail.el (mail-encode-header):
Set rfc2047-encode-encoded-words.
Please don't do that. Because:
2011-05-27 Kenichi Handa <handa@m17n.org>
* mail/sendmail.el (mail-encode-header): Avoid double encoding by
let-binding rfc2047-encode-encoded-words to nil.
I use Gnus and smtpmail, that uses mail-encode-header, to send
mails. Gnus passes a mail of which the header and the body are
fully encoded to smtpmail, so the double encoding takes place!
I often write mail's subject in Japanese, Gnus encodes it into
Subject: =?iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCJUYlOSVIGyhC?=
, and now it is encoded again into:
Subject: =?us-ascii?Q?=3D=3Fiso-2022-jp=3FB=3FGyRCJUYlOSVIGyhC=3F=3D?=
There is no mail software that decodes it into human-readable one.
Regards,

This patch should be reverted ASAP, because people are starting to see
corrupted email messages...

There was definitely a bug that occurred in using sendmail.el
without that change. But I don't recall the test case and
I could not come up with one now. So I don't object
to removing the change. But I think the problem will show
up again.

When it does, please describe it. It can never be TRT to encode an
already encoded address. There must be some other bug in some other
place, which prevents the address from being encoded in the first
place.
