my, what a flurry of traffic. just when i think i'm the only person
left still using mh. :-)
sometimes i get mail with subject lines like this:
Subject:
=?utf-8?B?Q1JPTkQsIFNFTkRNQUlMOiBtYWtlIHRoZW0gd29yayB0b2dldGhlcg==?=
of course, i can't read it.
is this a config problem? for me? for the sender?
is it a bug? in mh? in the sender's mail client?
just for completeness, in the case of the message with the above
subject, the content was also encoded:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
but mh handled that okay. (but i sure hate it, since my reply
scripts and forms _don't_ handle it, and i have to pull the
output of "show" into my outgoing buffer, and edit it, in order
to reply sensibly. but that's a different problem.)
is there anything i can do to make encoded subject lines visible?
i seem to be running nmh-1.2. if this is fixed in CVS, then i'm
all for us putting out a 1.3. i even volunteer to update the
savannah frontpage again. :-)
