Summary: The header indication is broken in some MUA.
some MUA.
Description:
If the headervalue length is over 255 bytes, the data up to 255 bytes
is stored to the variable and the rest of the data is cut off by
_header_cache()
function in dbmail-message.c.
I think that is because the dbmail_headervalue.headervalue type in mysql
is VARCHAR(255).
But, sometimes the end of encoded mime header (used well in mutli-byte
mail) such as '?=' is lost. So, the header indication is broken in
some MUA.
In PostgreSQL, it is not necessary to cut off the part of data which
exceeds 255 bytes because dbmail_headervalue.headervalue field type
is TEXT.
For that reaseon, I made the patch only for PostgreSQL (please see
the attached file).
Do you have any plan to change the dbmail_headervalue.headervalue type
from VARCHAR(255) to TEXT or MEDIUMTEXT in the future?
