Package: xemacs21
Version: 21.4.17-1
Severity: normal
XEmacs/gnus is displaying encoded rfc2047 headers, which makes them
unreadable. A typical Subject line is
Subject: =?UTF-8?B?W0lzc3VlIDkwOF0gIFN0b3JlIHRleHQtYmFzZSBjb21wcmVzc2Vk?=
which should be decoded to
Subject: [Issue 908] Store text-base compressed
This affects both the summary window and the article window. If I use
the menu option
Article
Display
View as different encoding
automatic-conversion
or run the command
gnus-summary-show-article-from-menu-as-charset-automatic-conversion
then the header is decoded and displayed properly.
Previously I was using Woody's xemacs21-nomule with a local, pristine,
copy of gnus-5.10.6 and the headers were displayed correctly.
If I use Sarge's Emacs rather than XEmacs, i.e. emacs21 21.4a-1 and
gnus 5.10.6-0.CVS.20050317-1, the headers are displayed correctly.
I have tried using xemacs21-mule, changing my locale, using Sarge's
gnus 5.10.6-0.CVS.20050317-1 and using a pristine gnus 5.10.6 and none
of these solve the problem when using XEmacs.
Looking at the xemacs21 changelog I note that 21.4.17-1 fixed a regexp bug,
and browsing the web it seems that the bug was triggered by some rfc2047
code.
