Subject: Gnus does not handle quoting in quoted strings correctly.
Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 22:38:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2ejuyt0vv.fsf@kenny.sha-bang.de> (raw)
Hi *,
if you have a mail with
From: "foo \[bar\]" <foo@bar.invalid>
in the headers, gnus displays the from literately as
foo \[bar\]
but according to RfC822/2822 "\" is used in quoted strings as special
quoting character and is always (no matter if necessary or not)
semantically "invisible". So it should read:
foo [bar]
The other way around, when writing display names in quoted strings, no
quoting is done even when it would be needed. Writing a message with
From: "foo/bar" <foo@bar.invalid>
the From: header is copied verbatim to the outgoing mail, but should
get quoted like:
From: "foo//bar" <foo@bar.invalid>
cheers
sascha
