+ Version: other
+ Platform: Mozilla 5.x
+ OS/Version: other
+ Status: NEW   
+ Resolution: 
+ Severity: normal
+ Priority: P2
+ Component: IMP

+ Summary: Broken MIME encoding of mail headers
+ 
+ It appears that the MIME encoding of mail headers is broken in the IMP composer.
+ 
+ As specified by RFC 2047, sec. 5, each encoded word should start after a space
+ (a 'linear-white-space' in RFC 822 parlance), yet IMP 3.2 does not always start
+ the encoded word after a space. As a result some MIME compliant mail readers
+ cannot decode the header of a mail sent with IMP. This is particularly annoying
+ for the subject one.
+ 
+ I will attach next an example message where this happens.
