[Mailman-Users] text/plain flowed wrapping

[Steve Foster]

HI Folks,

I'm trying to track down where a spurious "!" is being injected into a 
number of lines in a text/plain message that is being wrapped at about 990 
chars.

The "!" doesn't appear in the copy in the archive, just the email that is 
sent out. I've been lookin in the code in pythonlib/email and 
pythonlib/smtplib but can't see anything glaring. The only mention of 
RFC3676 is in Handler/Scrubber which appears to be the relevant RFC.

Anythoughts?

Cheers

Steve

For example (all chars converted to 'a' due to sensitivity of original):

aa aaa aaaaaa aa aaa aaaaaaa, aaa aaaaaaaa aa aaaa aa aaaaaaaa aaaa aaaa 
aaa aaaa aaaa aa 2007/08 aa aaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa, aa aaaaa aaa aaaa aaa. 
aaa aaaa aaaaaaaaa aa aaaaa aa aaa aaaaaaaaaaaa aa aaaa aaaaaaaa, aaaaa 
aaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaa aaaaa aaaaaaaa aa aaaaaaaa aaaaaa (aaa), a.a. 
aaaaaaaa aaaaaaaa a aaaaaa aa aaa aaaaa aa aaa aaaaaaaaa aaaa aa aa aaaaa 
aa-aaaa.  aa aaa aaaaa aa aaa aaaa aaaa, a aaa aaaaaa aa aaaaaaaa aa aaa 
aaaaaaa; aaaa aa aaaaaaaaaaaa aa aaa aaaaaaaaaa aa aaa aaaaaaaa aaaa. 
aaaa aaaaaaa aaa aaaaaaaa aa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaa aaa aa 'aaaaaaa aaaaaaaa',

aaaaaaa.  aaaa aaaaa aaaa aaa aaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa aaaaa aaa aaa aaaaa 
aaaaaaaa aaaaaaa aaaa, aaa aa aaa aaaa aa aaaaa, aaaa aaaa aa aaa
