bug in ietf-drums-parse-address

[Владимир Волович]

Hi,

when you will try open this message in gnus, you'll get an error:

  signal(error ("Unknown symbol: \xe32"))
  error("Unknown symbol: %c" 3634)
  ietf-drums-parse-address("\xe32\xe5b\xe50\xe54\xe58\xe5c\xe58\xe60 \xe32\xe5e\xe5b\xe5e\xe52\xe58\xe67 <vvv@vsu.ru>")
  mail-header-parse-addresses("\xe32\xe5b\xe50\xe54\xe58\xe5c\xe58\xe60 \xe32\xe5e\xe5b\xe5e\xe52\xe58\xe67 <vvv@vsu.ru>")
  gnus-picon-transform-address("from")
  gnus-treat-from-picon()
  gnus-treat-article(head)
  gnus-display-mime()
  gnus-article-prepare-display()
  gnus-article-prepare(1411 nil)
  gnus-summary-display-article(1411 nil)
  gnus-summary-select-article(nil force)
  gnus-summary-show-article(nil)
  call-interactively(gnus-summary-show-article)

note that the From: header is:

From: =?koi8-r?b?98zBxMnNydIg98/Mz9fJ?=
 =?koi8-r?b?3g==?= <vvv@vsu.ru>

Best,
v.

I installed a patch when you posted the message, so that Gnus won't
barf on the address, (not extract the address either).  But I wonder
whether mail-header-parse-addresses should only parse the encoded
addresses instead of decoded addresses.

Yes, that's true -- it isn't meant to be able to handle decoded
addresses, really.  Perhaps the picon code should switch to
`mail-extract-address-components' or the like.
