------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-12-24 02:46 ------- Valid mail from Microsoft mailers (Exchange etc.) sometimes is flagged by this rule. Case in point -- long Cc: header where base64-encoded real name is split into two lines. Relevant RFCs do not agree: RFC 2045 (defines base64 encoding): <...> All line breaks or other characters not found in Table 1 must be ignored by decoding software. In base64 data, characters other than those in Table 1, line breaks, and other white space probably indicate a transmission error, about which a warning message or even a message rejection might be appropriate under some circumstances. <...> RFC 2047 (MIME): <...> Only a subset of the printable ASCII characters may be used in 'encoded-text'. Space and tab characters are not allowed, so that the beginning and end of an 'encoded-word' are obvious. Each 'encoded-word' MUST encode an integral number of octets. The 'encoded-text' in each 'encoded-word' must be well-formed according to the encoding specified; the 'encoded-text' may not be continued in the next 'encoded-word'. <...> ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
