Trouble with pm-jamime-decode.rc,v 1.2 1998/03/30 09:49:09

Hello Folks,

        I found that pm-jamime-decode.rc does not decode
quoted-printable if it is only in the body of the message,  In this
case, in the header we only get something of the sort:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; 
boundary="1581342828(_dot_)949434865171(_dot_)JavaMail(_dot_)root(_at_)ecircle4"

I modified pm-jamime-decode.rc so as to check also in the body for
$JA_MIME_DECODE_REGEXP.  Unfortunately, now it does not find the

^Content-Transfer-Encoding: *quoted-printable

that is also in the body.  I do not see why this now fails after the
above is found in the body.  My modified pm-jamime-decode.rc as well
as a real piece of e-mail that the current pm-jamime-decode.rc does
not decode.

By the way, I suggest that the default value of $JA_MIME_DECODE_REGEXP
be changed from "^Content-Type: *text/plain" to 
"^Content-Type: *text/(plain|enriched)".

Thanks folks,

        --Ralph

#       The original father of the decoding scheme used here was

<galbraith(_at_)mixing(_dot_)qc(_dot_)dfo(_dot_)ca> in
#       procmail mailing list somewhere at the end of 1997.
#
#       This includerc supposes that the header has MIME header
#       Content-Type: text/plain and performs qp or base64 decoding
#       on the whole message. Note, that if you receive messages that
#       have many mime attachements, then this recipe is not suitable
#       for it.
#
#       Procmail is not designed to handle mime attachements and this
#       recipe only applies to whole _body_.
#
#   Required settings
#
#       PMSRC must point to source direcry of procmail code. This subroutine
#       will include
#
#       o   pm-javar.rc
#
#   Call arguments (variables to set before calling)
#
#       (none)
#
#   Return values
#
#       (none)
#
#   Examples
#
#       Instead of testing the existense of text/plain in the body,
#       you can force decoding by settings JA_MIME_DECODE_REGEXP to
#       ".*".
