Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 (stable)

Status: Closed Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Submitted By: Swen Haubold (swen_haubold) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Subject wrap with tab character

Initial Comment: Mailman: 2.1.2 The subject line is wrapped by a tab character, if the line contains more than 78 characters. In this case a space is replaced by an tab character. This behaviour gives trouble with some e-mail client and is also not handled by MHonArc correctly. In an e-mail client a long space is shown or a special character. MHonArc simply removes the tab character therefore two words are combined, e.g. the tab is inserted between the two word "and" and "delivery"; in the archive the subject contains the new word "anddelivery" ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 RFC 2822 example states: Subject: This is a test can be represented as: Subject: This is a test Therefore, if MHonArc or a MUA simply removes tab char and not insertes a space in place of the FWS (folding white space), it is his fault. Mailman now select FWS from tab or space as appeared in the original message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeff Wilson (jwilson75503) Date: 2005-10-25 03:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1083352 This behavior seems to still occur in 2.1.6 http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers% 40python.org/msg09027.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Dave Disser (disser) Date: 2003-06-04 22:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=794167 I notice this also with Mailman 2.1.1. I don't see code in mailman doing it, so it appears to be in email.Header or unicode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=736559&group_id=103
