Package: mimedecode
Version: 1.9-4
Severity: normal
It took just somewhat over 4 years for someone to look into this bug :(
I suppose noone's interested in fixing it :(
Michele,
as you already discovered, the expression you used:
SUB=`formail -zx Subject: | mimedecode`
won't be useful. But I guess something like this:
SUB=`formail -czx Subject: | sed -e 's/^/x /' | \
(mimedecode || :) | cut -d' ' -f2-`
might.
Thing is mimedecode will ignore non-header stuff. As you already
disovered, sticking anything (space character separated) in front
of the subject, will fool mimedecode and it will look like a header
to it :(
Alternatively, some perl script simplier than this:
---8<---
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Getopt::Std;
use Email::MIME::Modifier;
my %opts;
getopts('dH:', \%opts) or
die "getopts failed,";
my @text;
if ($opts{'d'}) {
die "E: missing file name argument,"
unless $ARGV[0];
die "E: file $ARGV[0] not found,"
unless -r $ARGV[0];
open(EMAIL, "< $ARGV[0]") or
die "E: failed reading file $ARGV[0],";
@text = <EMAIL>;
close(EMAIL);
} else {
@text = <>;
}
my $hdr = $opts{'H'};
$hdr = "Subject"
unless $hdr;
my $email = Email::MIME->new(join('', @text));
foreach my $s ($email->header($hdr)) {
$s =~ s|\s+| |g;
$s =~ s|^\s+||;
$s =~ s|\s+$||;
print($s, "\n");
}
exit(0);
---8<---
will do the job.
