Subject: something decodes my headers...
Date: Thu, 05 Jun 2003 12:01:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m21xy88i2y.fsf@tnuctip.rychter.com> (raw)
... and I don't know what it is.
I get lots of mail with RFC2047-encoded From: fields. Mostly
ISO-8859-2. Now, when mail-extr gets to those headers, they are already
in 8-bit form, which causes mail-extr to fail tragically. I get chopped
names, annoying BBDB behavior, and all sorts of breakage. People who get
ISO-8859-1 E-mail don't see this, because mail-extr.el is "extended" to
handle ISO-8859-1 in a particularly ugly way.
I've tried to trace what it is that decodes the headers to 8bit before
mail-extr sees them -- but I have no idea. They are RFC2047-encoded on
the disk. Looking through my init files also did not produce any clues.
Before I go diving into the code to trace the actual execution path,
perhaps somebody has suggestions?
