This is probably not the right place to be asking this as it is not directly
Postfix related, but I don't know a better group to ask. For years I have sent
text messages and just let the lines run on. Only inserting a \n for the start
of a
new paragraph. I never exceed the 988 line length limit. My mail client does
it's magic to make it smaller line lengths and the recipient's puts it back
together again so that it fills whatever window size they are using. However,
in the last couple days, something has changed. Looking at the raw sent text
of the message, the lines are less than 80 bytes with an "=" at the end of each
line that is not a line end. Going back through some of my email history, I
see that occurring for years. It was never visible to me or any of my
recipients.
I have a process that takes a portion of a received email and distributes it to
a small recipient list. I am one of the recipients and It arrived with no
cleanup. The = was at the end of every line. There was no reassembly of the
original lines. The outgoing email had the following headers:
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
I have searched the internet for some discussion of this and find nothing. The
RFCs don't seem to address it either. Given the normal thoroughness of the
RFCs I believe that just means I haven't found the right one. What controls
this behavior and what is needed to get the reassembly to work again?
