"\n"; tglase@tglase:~ $ php x.php Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?p=3Fstal=20foo=20bar=20baz=20foo=20bar=20baz=20fo?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?o=20bar=20baz=20foo=20bar=20baz?= Subject: [service-Aufgaben S&W-Team][#19415] VM''s aufsetzen mit unterschiedlichen See how Python 3.4 embarassingly fails this extremely simple RFC2047 eMail header MIME encoding test: the resulting header line is 82 chars, and thus longer than what RFC822 permits. “Embarassing” because PHP gets it all right. If I add another ' foo' at the end, I get this: pöstal foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo Subject: =?iso-8859-1?q?p=F6stal_foo_bar_baz_foo_bar_baz_foo_bar_baz_foo_bar_baz_foo?= “Double embarassing” because even Python 2.7 got that one not as catastrophically wrong. This is bad because MUAs like Pine rightfully refuse to RFC2047-decode such bad and broken messages (but apparently widespread to an amount that Alpine as packaged in Debian contains a hack to allow for such broken, overlong lines).
