when couriermlm's subject-tagging is enabled for mailinglists, it fails to recognize existing tags when those are encoded. example: X-Mailer: The Bat! (v1.62i) Personal Subject: [Technik] =?ISO-8859-1?B?UmU6IFtUZWNobmlrXSBWZXJzdORuZG5pc2ZyYWdl?= ...where the '[Technik]'-tag is already included in the binary-encode. mail-client encode subjects if there are 8bit-characters in it, like german umlauts. some mailclients THEN also encode the tag-brackets, as shown in this example: X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.5510 Subject: [Technik] =?iso-8859-1?Q? AW:_=5BTechnik=5D_Re:_=5BTechnik=5D_Verst=E4ndnisfrage?= ...where brackets are done by =5B and =5D, which are less then 7F and thereby 7bit-characters. while this seems to be a bug in M$ outlook, it would be nice if couriermlm could work around this one :) this bug is very likely contained in upstream, so i'm sending the link to this report there myself and will provide with any information i get back on this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use couriermlm to manage your mailinglist and set subject-tagging 2. use 8bit-characters in your subject 3. reply to your mail :)
sam varshavchik answered to my email: "This is probably true. This is a very low priority issue. I'll get to it eventually."
upstream will eventually fix this.
