Bug in mb_encode_mimeheader. Function does not follow rfc2047, chapter 3, second paragraph. I suspect that function base64 encodes string first and then splits it according to length argument or fails to add escapes when texts in iso-2022 charsets are folded. It breaks iso-2022 escapes. In http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=23192 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote that issues should be reported on php-i18n first. Header posted on that bug report shows same issue with broken iso-2022 escapes, but Moriyoshi wrote that it is encoded correctly. Are things unchanged since 2003-04? Do I have to report bug here or on bugs.php.net? -- Tomas -- PHP Unicode & I18N Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
