Bug #4592
openThe Bat email client shows corrupted subject of a message sent by Wt::Mail::Client
0%
Description
I'm using Wt::Mail::Client for sending emails which contain text and subject in Russian.
I've noticed that The Bat email client shows corrupted subject for such emails.
The original subject is:
Приглашение получить доступ
The encoded subject:
Subject: =?UTF-8?q?=D0=9F=D1=80=D0=B8=D0=B3=D0=BB=D0=B0=D1=88=D0=B5=D0=BD=D0=B8=D0?=
=?UTF-8?q?=B5_=D0=BF=D0=BE=D0=BB=D1=83=D1=87=D0=B8=D1=82=D1=8C_=D0=B4=D0?=
=?UTF-8?q?=BE=D1=81=D1=82=D1=83=D0=BF?=
What I see in The Bat:
Приглашени?? получить д??ступ
A message body is displayed correctly.
Also I don't have any problems with message subjects when I use Thunderbird email client or Gmail or Roundcube.

This seems to be a bug in earlier versions of The Bat.
It does not properly handle folded headers like this:
Subject: =?UTF-8?q?=D0=9F=D1=80=D0=B8=D0=B3=D0=BB=D0=B0=D1=88=D0=B5=D0=BD=D0=B8=D0?=
=?UTF-8?q?=B5_=D0=BF=D0=BE=D0=BB=D1=83=D1=87=D0=B8=D1=82=D1=8C_=D0=B4=D0?=
=?UTF-8?q?=BE=D1=81=D1=82=D1=83=D0=BF?=
Newer versions of The Bat work fine.
It's interesting that I couldn't find any email in my inbox which is sent by a client that honours the strict limit of 78 symbols described in the RFC[1]. They just write all long headers in a single string.

Arghl. Nobody cares about RFC's anymore! It would be great if we can find a reference that confirms that we can actually put it on a single line...
