Hi Jeffrey,

I am working on an application (for internal use) which will archive emails 
available in eml format. As I need some additional header fields I looked 
around and found the gmime library.

The first problem was, that I am on Windows and it takes hours to compile all 
the libraries on which gmime depends. But now everything seems ok, except one 
thing.

I am able to parse most of our eml files with gmime library but some of them 
are malformed. The name in the email addresses in "To" and "From" fields 
contains german umlauts sometimes, which are not encoded.

After debugging it seems that "charset_convert" in gmime-utils.c could not 
convert the charset.
In line 1516 there is a call to iconv - which consumes all characters in the 
input buffer until the german umlaut character. Nothing happen with this 
character and then the while loop around these function running into an 
infinite loop.

I am not sure whether this is a gmime issue, an iconv issue or an issue in my 
evironment because of Windows.

Here is my configuration:

gmime - 2.5.8
glib - 2.28.1-1 and then I tried it with 2.20.5-1
libiconv 1.9.1 (because this is the latest version available as Windows binary)

I've attached an email which causes the problem - maybe you are able to 
reproduce this at your end.


Best regards from Germany

Betreff: Niedecken -install QCM 3.5 

Jürgen, I just want to confirm / inform, that we will go for the combination of 
QPSC3.5 and QCM3.5 at this site. Even, if we know that both versions are still 
prerelease, it is the only solution we can rely on (due to our common 
experiences at "DIE ZEIT"). Please remember, that this customer originally 
ordered a QPSE system and we changed this to the combo.  best regards   Klaus
