--- Begin Message ---Package: mozilla-thunderbird Version: 1.0-3 Severity: normal Thunderbird incorrectly puts a quote into the MIME Q encoding of the From field if the cleartext name of the user contains non-ASCII characters. In my specific case, I have in userprefs.js user_pref("mail.identity.id1.fullName", "Martin v. Löwis"); (where the funny bytes are o-umlaut). Thunderburd then puts, into the From: field >From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=22Martin_v=2E_L=F6wis=22?= <[email protected]> As you can see, this contains =22 at its begin and its end. According to RFC 2047 and RFC 2822, this in incorrect. RFC 2047 specifies that encoded-words are intended to be parsed as atoms. RFC 2822 specifies that the From line is from = "From:" mailbox-list CRLF mailbox-list = (mailbox *("," mailbox)) / obs-mbox-list mailbox = name-addr / addr-spec name-addr = [display-name] angle-addr display-name = phrase phrase = 1*word / obs-phrase word = atom / quoted-string So the display-name consist of *either* atoms or quoted strings. For a quoted-string, the quotes are not part of the semantical value of the word (3.2.5); for an atom, all atext characters form the value (3.2.4). So in this From: line, my name would be "Martin v. Löwis" (i.e. including the quotes). This is wrong, according to my preferences, my name does not contain quotes. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages mozilla-thunderbird depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.2.3-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.3 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-9 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.2-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.0-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.2-6 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxp6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System printing extension ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-11 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: * mozilla-thunderbird/browser: Debian
