Message: Logged In: YES user_id=81423 Originator: YES Hm, good point; thanks. I've fixed the script which generates mail for each commit to the Linux kernel git tree, and it should no longer generate encoded-words longer than 75 characters. I still see this input... Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?[MTD]_NAND:_CAF=C3=89_NAND_driver_cleanup,_fix_ECC_on_reading?= =?UTF-8?Q?_empty_flash?= and this output... Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?[MTD]_NAND:_CAF=C3=89_NAND_driver_cleanup, _fix_ECC_on_reading?= =?UTF-8?Q?_empty_flash?= The comma is allowed, and doesn't have to be '=2C', does it? See §4.2 (3) and §5 (1). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Harald Hoyer (Red Hat) (saturn_de) Date: 2006-11-29 10:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=5540 Originator: NO http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt An 'encoded-word' may not be more than 75 characters long, including 'charset', 'encoding', 'encoded-text', and delimiters. If it is desirable to encode more text than will fit in an 'encoded-word' of 75 characters, multiple 'encoded-word's (separated by CRLF SPACE) may be used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1605144&group_id=103
