GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 102361
Broken subject
Last modified: 2006-06-18 05:25:28 UTC
I found that Pan sometimes changes subject into something strange, for example: "Re: Nie mog? skasowa? dysku" becomes a "=iso-8859-2?Q?Re: Nie mog=EA skasowa=E6 Dysku". As You see I'm from Poland and using ISO 8859-2
Could you give us a group + message id of such an article?
Please go to news.vogel.pl, then find chip.hardware or chip.software or other with "chip". There are many such a subjects (and sometimes authors) with polish letters eg. ³±æñêó¿¼. FOr example: av43oa$fnm$4@news.tpi.pl, or av4mve$2pf$2@news.onet.pl or av1fgs$t15$1@news.tpi.pl or 3e14c42a@news.vogel.pl or av43od$fnm$5@news.tpi.pl and so on.
gkmita: Thanks for the info. The subjects of the reported message id's are all of the form: =?iso-8859-2?Q?Re:_Jak_po=B3aczyc_HABa_z_komputerem?= =?ISO-8859-2?Q?Re:_czy_ta_p=B3yta_jest_stabilna_=3F?= fejj: reading RFC2047, I believe these encoded phrases are invalid: ':' is not a valid character within a phrase. Can you confirm?
that would be correct :-)
fejj: thanks. Closing as NOTABUG, since these headers were created incorrectly by the posters' newsreaders (Outlook Express and Orient Express(?)). Pan parses these correctly.
Yes, You're right, I also found that those headers are created incorrectly, but I still think that Pan has some problem with those headers (for example Knode doesn't show those things, but sometimes "?"). I'll try to talk about this problem with people on those newsgroups. PS.: Orient Express it's a joke. Some newsreaders (propably Xnews or Hamster) allow to change this entry. You may find aslo OE 7, 9 and so on.

Closing again. If you're convinced that "Pan has some problem with those headers" in more recent version, create a new bugreport and give specific examples.
