Michelle: A script is sending out a message. Cron calls scripts, and my scripts use mutt. And long subjects *do* fold. We discussed this earlier this week and bug #2995 has been opened for it (see the bug for extensive discussion).
Apparently folding happens for messages that have a subject longer than 76 characters. I went into the code, changed that to 200, recompiled, and I'm now good. The long-term fix is to change wrapping from <TAB>CRLF to just CRLF. How to unwrap improperly wrapped messages is still somewhat open to debate.

Cron does not use mutt and I have never seen folded subjectlines in a cron message. -- Even if the commandline was 1000 Bytes long... > For example, what was: > Subject: A DSL modem belonging to username 'username' is constantly > reconnecting (112 times) > in the headers is now: > Subject: A DSL modem belonging to username 'username' is constantly > reconnecting (112 times) Do you use a script and inside the script you use mutt? I think, there are better and faster ways to send out messages. sendmail -t <<EOF To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: A DSL modem belonging to username 'username' is constantly reconnecting (112 times) Date: $(date -rfc-822) Message-Id: ...
