GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 116269
Upgrade GMime version
Last modified: 2006-05-04 17:12:44 UTC
I've noticed that Pan has problems parsing some encoded subject lines. The actual problem might be with some user agents posting malformed subject's, but there seem to be more than one such client and it's not very likely that they are going to be fixed any year now... The problems seems to be the characters '.' and ':'. So even if it would break standars, I feel this should be fixed in Pan... Here are some example subjects (in Finnish language): Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Henkil=F6tietojen_saatavuus_=28Re:_HKL:n_k=E4nnykk=E4lippu_helppo_v=E4=E4rent=E4=E4=29?= User-Agent: slrn/0.9.6.2 (Linux) Subject: Onko kokemuksia =?iso-8859-1?Q?"t=E4htih=E4lyst=E4"=3F?= User-Agent: slrn/0.9.7.4 (Linux) Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ajokortti_opetusluvalla;_miten_ja_mit=E4_maksaa=3F?= X-Trace: posting.google.com 1054146537 24831 127.0.0.1 (28 May 2003 18:28:57 GMT) Subject: Re: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?HKL:n_matkakortista_j=E4lleen?= X-Trace: posting.google.com 1056791137 17396 127.0.0.1 (28 Jun 2003 09:05:37 GMT) Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Kuningaskuluttaja_13.1._(valmiustila_ja_energians=E4=E4st?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=F6)?= X-Newsreader: GNU Emacs v21.3.50/Gnus v5.9.0 (Debian GNU/Linux) Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Modeemiongelmia_Windows_XP:ss=E4?= X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?kysymys_autom._p=F6lynpoistosta_skannatessa?= X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3612.1700
This will require a sync w/ GMime 2.1: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108557 Marking this for 0.14.1, though we'll probably only do this in a later release of the 0.14.x series.
same thing happens if there are (any specific) national chars in From: field, can't wait to see it fixed. best regards, artb.
bzdurqa: that does not sound like the same problem. Could you give me an example? Group + Message-ID in a commomly available group should be enough.
last spotted on polish os advocacy group, pl.comp.os.advocacy. since i'm not sure if polish groups are commonly available, i am pasting headers from this message: Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2003 19:55:01 +0000 (UTC) From: =?ISO-8859-2?Q?Piotr=20Chyli=F1ski=20<heidi_listy@mac.REMOVE.com>?= Lines: 9 Message-ID: <20030629215502918+0200@news.icm.edu.pl> NNTP-Posting-Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2003 19:55:01 +0000 (UTC) NNTP-Posting-Host: chello062179019224.chello.pl Newsgroups: pl.comp.os.advocacy Organization: HEIDI - studio reklamy Path: news.astercity.net!newsfeed.gazeta.pl!news.icm.edu.pl!not-for-mail Subject: =?ISO-8859-2?Q?Apel,=20pro=B6ba,=20etc.?= User-Agent: Halime (MacOSX)/1.0rc2b X-Complaints-To: abuse@icm.edu.pl X-Trace: SunSITE.icm.edu.pl 1056916501 15531 62.179.19.224 (29 Jun 2003 19:55:01 GMT) Xref: news.astercity.net pl.comp.os.advocacy:141561 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-2 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit this is for sure Halime's (MOX useragent) bug, but other readers like slrn display the headers 'properly' - without charset/encoding rubbish. this might be quite important feature, since afaik national chars are going to be allowed in domain names end email addresses soon. other example, same group (Subject with base64 only, From did not contain any national chars): Subject: jak Apple lito =?ISO-8859-2?B?tmNpd2llIFhlb255IGJlbmN6bWFya293YbM=?=o User-Agent: Microsoft-Entourage/10.1.1.2418 Message-ID: <BB20DAFE.458D1%jurek.b@acn.waw.pl> another strange thing is [tab] in the above (after 'lito' substring), i remember that Pan 0.13.something used to put '\t' between the references (which is fixed now). i've seen also other badly encoded headers like Organization, but they occur rarely, malformed Subject is quite common. best regards, artb.
OK: same bug. :) Guess I misinterpreted your comment.
Is this a dup a of bug 112442?
So it is. Thanks, Helge.

Mass-bumping of 0.14.2 features to 0.14.3 to make way for an emergency 0.14.2 release.

Note: there's some portability issues in the current version of GMime (e.g. calls fork() directly). This will need to be addressed before releasing on Windows.
fork() is only called in the gpg code, which you don't necessarily need to include in pan. anyways, here's a patch bzip2'd (since the inflated patch is 410k)
Created attachment 28408 [details] [review] updated-gmime.patch also happens to fix bug #98834

0.9x requires a newer mime version as a prerequisite.
