Problem decoding quoted-printable question mark in subject
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MIME4J-209
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-209
Project: JAMES Mime4j
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.7.1
Environment: Windows XP 64-bit, JDK 1.6.0 update 25, IntelliJ IDEA
10.5.2
Reporter: Robert Lee
When a subject contains only "Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q???=" MIME4j doesn't
decode it. It simply returns "=?ISO-8859-1?Q???=". The encoding is however
legal with regards to RFC2045:
6.7 2) (Literal representation) Octets with decimal values of
33 through 60 inclusive, and 62 through 126, inclusive,
MAY be represented as the US-ASCII characters which
correspond to those octets (EXCLAMATION POINT through
LESS THAN, and GREATER THAN through TILDE,
respectively).
Example message:
From: John Doe <[email protected]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="XXXXboundary text"
Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q???=
This is a multipart message in MIME format.
--XXXXboundary text
Content-Type: text/plain
this is the body text
--XXXXboundary text
Content-Type: text/plain;
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="test.txt"
this is the attachment text
--XXXXboundary text--
Example code fragment:
MessageBuilder builder = new DefaultMessageBuilder();
Message message = builder.parseMessage(in);
System.out.println("Subject: " + message.getSubject());
This outputs "Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q???=" but should output "Subject: ?".
