[dev] Bug in save Message?

[Michael Menge]

Hi,

I had a look at http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/1521/6.htm

Rule #4 and Rule #5 state that the soft line break is represented as "=\r\n"

> Hi,

> this Problem is related to Bug 3565 but is different.
>
> If a Windows User saves a Message with the "Save as"
> (module=imp&actionID=save_message") and this Message is a german Text
> with "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable" the text has a line
> break after 73 charakters if ther was no linebreak before. If such a
> linebreak is added it is maked with "=" so that it can be removed if
> you view this message.
>
> If you save the Message with Imp under Linux the linebreak ist "\n"
> and therefor the marking ist "=\n". You get the same file if you save
> it using Thunderbird under linux.
>
> If you save the Message under Windows Thunderbird uses the Windows
> linebreak, but IMP still uses "\n".
>
> Opening the saved file with Outlook Express it gets confused by the
> "=\n", using Thunderbird shows the message correct.

>>> Hi
>>>
>>> Saving Messages with "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable" and
>>> lines with more than 73 chars seems to confuse "Outlook Express"
>>>
>>> Imp Replaces "\r\n" with "\n" so that the end of a line with more than
>>> 73 chars looks like "=\n". Outlook Express prints out the = and
>>> deletes the charakter that would normaly follow.
>>>
>>> Saving the same Message with an other Windows Mail-Client (i.e.
>>> Thunderbird) the "\r\n" is not replaced and Outlook Express shows the
>>> message with no errors.
>>>
>>> Thunderbird has no problems with the replacement.
>>>
>>> Is this a Bug in IMP or in Outlook Express?
>>
>> Are you talking about this (non-)issue?
>> http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/?id=3565
>>
>> If not, then I am unclear what you are referring to because IMP has no
>> "save message" feature.
