Package: rss2email Version: 1:2.54-6 Severity: normal I've tried using rss2email and found a bug.
A Subject field is encoded incorrectly if the RSS feed contains
non-ASCII characters in the title and the word is too long.
For instance,
<title>รก12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890<title>
is converted to
Subject:
=?utf-8?Q?=C3=A112345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678=
901234567890?=
It seems that "=\n" is inserted incorrectly.
This bug might be in Python's mimify.py. Anyway, to prevent this
problem, I've applied the follwing patch to rss2email.py.

Typically, this problem is appeared in Japanese documents. Because
Japanese multibyte words are not separated with the space character.
