I disagree. There are an infinite number of these kinds of "weaknesses" (a poster e-mailed me one off-list in the hopes that I'd code a workaround.) The reason is that there are an infinite number of ways to mangle MIME, and it's a futile effort to write hacks to work around them. The *ONLY* safe way to handle these situations is to canonicalize every message that passes through your mail server by calling "action_rebuild()" in filter_end. Please note that I will not accept suggestions or patches to make MIMEDefang parse broken MIME, for two reasons: 1) The upstream maintainers of MIME::tools and Mail::Tools will likely not accept the patches. 2) Fixing one of the infinite "weaknesses" will leave infinity minus one left to be fixed. Bottom line: If you are worried about this, you *must* canonicalize e-mail. It's the only secure solution.
