Description Hal Eisen 2004-08-09 18:19:08 UTC
When I receive an email composed in Apple OS X's Mail application, it uses a MIME boundary that looks like this:

--Apple-Mail-72--26013670
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Then, each line of text is terminated with an encoded space (=20).  But those spaces are not replicated in the preview pane.  Also, when replying to such a message, two words are glommed together with no whitespace between the words.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




I can attach a sample message if necessary

I assume the problem is with the "format=flowed" mime part.  Oh, and the JPG
attachment in the message was truncated, for security and brevity.

emm, the newlines are not mime compliant, that is obviously why it barfs. but why it does that, i don't know because from my apple mail, emails sent have the proper mime-compliant headers.

so maybe something in between is doing some screwing around?

Works fine for me, using evo 2, is this still a problem for you?
Comment 6 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-05 02:44:26 UTC
can't reproduce. i seriously don't think its evo's problem but somewhere else.
