Package: maildrop Version: 2.9.3-2+b1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
reformime -r8 corrupts UTC date in mbox From line. I have a test message in quoted-printable format: $ cat test.msg | reformime -i section: 1 content-type: text/plain content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable charset: UTF-8 starting-pos: 0 starting-pos-body: 1778 ending-pos: 3238 line-count: 67 body-line-count: 29 It is in mbox format. Here is its first line: $ cat test.msg | head -1 >From [email protected] Mon Mar 01 00:02:22 2021 Processing with reformime -r8 corrupts the UTC date: $ cat test.msg | reformime -r8 | head -1 >From [email protected] Mon Mar 01 00: 02:22 2021 When piping such a message to exim in my procmailrc I was getting undesirable behavior (the message was sent but embedded in a new message) which led me into the deep dive to identify the problem. Note: everything else about the behavior of reformime seems correct: $ cat test.msg | reformime -r8 | reformime -i section: 1 content-type: text/plain content-transfer-encoding: 7bit charset: utf-8 starting-pos: 0 starting-pos-body: 1867 ending-pos: 3269 line-count: 55 body-line-count: 15 I find nothing else wrong with the output. I downloaded and compiled reformime in version 3.0.7 of maildrop. It behaves in the same way corrupting way. I was able to work around the problem with this: $ cat test.msg | reformime -r8 | sed -e '1s/: \([0-9]\)/:\1/' | head -1 >From [email protected] Mon Mar 01 00:02:22 2021 Note: Appendix A of RFC4155 specifies that mailbox formatted messages should include UTC formatted dates.
