[imp] qmail and no subject-line from imp

[Manfred Schwarb]

Hi,

I got an answer from my provider:
"Mails without subject line are often spam and therefore
catched by the spam filter. But we will check our spam configuration."


Meanwhile, I found the problem in IMP (3.2.6):

--- compose.php.orig    2004-10-10 19:05:28.000000000 +0000
+++ compose.php 2004-10-10 19:18:56.000000000 +0000
@@ -856,6 +856,8 @@
          $subject = Horde::getFormData('subject');
          if (!empty($subject)) {
              $headers['Subject'] = $subject;
+         } else {
+             $headers['Subject'] = '';
          }
          if (($ref = Horde::getFormData('references'))) {
              $headers['References'] = $ref;


This does it for me.
Please apply, it does no harm and many other MUA behave 
like this as well.


regards,
Manfred
