Subject: Re: [Regression] MIME header encoding is broken in VM 8.0.11
* u...@gentoo.org (Ulrich Mueller)
| VM 8.0.9 would encode the word "Rückstoßdämpfung" in the Subject line as
| follows:
|
|    =?iso-8859-1?Q?R=FCcksto=DFd=E4mpfung?=
|
| which is still somewhat readable to the unaided eye. In VM 8.0.11 this
| now becomes the following:
|
|    R=?iso-8859-1?B?/A==?=cksto=?iso-8859-1?B?3w==?=d=?iso-8859-1?B?5A==?=mpfun g
|
| Setting vm-mime-encode-headers-type to Q doesn't help much:
|
|    R=?iso-8859-1?Q?=FC?=cksto=?iso-8859-1?Q?=DF?=d=?iso-8859-1?Q?=E4?=mpfung
|
| If I interpret RFC 1522 correctly, the method of VM 8.0.11 is plain
| wrong here, since an encoded-word must be surrounded by white space and
| is not allowed to start in the middle of a word (RFC 1522 section 5):

Is this supposed to be fixed in 8.0.12?  I recently had an corrupted
INBOX due to some wrong Elisp in the parsed X-VM-data header...

If this should be fixed, I'd try to reproduce that and do an report.
