Subject: bug#19431: 24.4; Bad handling of RFC2047 encoded headers by 'mail-extract-address-components'
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2014 16:10:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <lyy4pziutb.fsf@ensc-virt.intern.sigma-chemnitz.de> (raw)
Hi,
the emacs email framework fails on email addresses containing umlauts.
E.g. in the following example
--- {{{ snip ---
; set a (nearly) real-world To: address; the umlaut '=C3=A4' encoding
; was replaced by '=61=65'
(let* ((address "=?utf-8?Q?B=61=65Br=2C_Klaus?= <test@example.com>")
(decoded (rfc2047-decode-string address)))
; show output with encoded umlauts and non-RFC2047 header
(print (mail-extract-address-components "\"Baer, Klaus\" <test@example.com>"))
(print address t)
(print decoded t)
; previous prints were just for debugging purposes; now, the real
; functions will be called...
(print (mail-extract-address-components address))
(print (mail-extract-address-components decoded)))
--- }}} snip ---
none of the last two debug outputs show the expected split.
| ("Klaus Baer" "test@example.com") <--- this is expected
|
| "=?utf-8?Q?B=61=65r=2C_Klaus?= <test@example.com>"
|
| "Baer, Klaus <test@example.com>"
|
| ("utf" "test@example.com") <-- BAD (working on undecoded string)
|
| (nil "Baer") <-- BAD (working on decoded string)
| (nil "Baer")
Unfortunately, such RFC2047 encoded addresses are very common in Germany
so that e.g. BBDB (which works on the 'decoded' string) fails in very
much cases.
