on batsu at Sat Dec 1 11:08:10 UTC 2012]"), but I use a large
value for -maxunencoded in my $HOME/.mh_profile to prevent MH
from base64-encoding my (100% 7-bit text) messages when they
include long lines.
I sure hope you mean "quoted-printable" instead of base64. I don't
think we would ever do base64 on text, unless you explicitly told it to.
Specifically:
mhbuild: -maxunencoded 9999
This has not been a problem for me until I used the "attach"
option suggested by this thread: when I then used "send" I get:
What now? s
mhbuild: -maxunencoded unknown
Ah, okay. TWO problems. The first problem is .... -maxunencoded is not
supported for 1.5! So you getting this error message is TOTALLY expected,
and is not a bug. Bob, I have to ask ... was nmh encoding long lines a
problem for you? Before it would always do it, but ONLY when you ran
mhbuild. As of 1.6 mhbuild is always run, but that wasn't done for
1.5; it was only run if you asked for it (like when you use attach).
The second problem is that if you were running 1.6, you'd get this:
What now? s
mhbuild: limit of -maxunencoded is 998
Which is relatively self-explanatory (the limit for line length in messages
is 1000, so subtracting a CR-LF gets you to 998).
