Subject: bad rfc2047 encoding
Date: 15 Aug 2002 23:00:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <rzqit2b3hpy.fsf@albion.dl.ac.uk> (raw)
In Emacs 21.2, I see
(with-temp-buffer
(insert "To: Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE (Kai Großjohann)
")
(rfc2047-encode-message-header)
(buffer-string))
=> "To: Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE (Kai =?iso-8859-1?q?Gro=DFjohann)?=
"
which is an invalid encoding according to §5 of rfc2047, and Exim
refuses to deliver the result:
Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE (Kai =?iso-8859-1?q?Gro=DFjohann)?=: malformed address: ?= may not follow Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE (Kai =?iso-8859-1?q?Gro=DFjohann)
I'm surprised this hasn't been noticed and fixed before, but I think
it needs fixing for 21.3 by someone more familiar with the standards
and the logic in rfc2047.el.
