Forwarding quoted-printable encoded messages

Forwarding quoted-printable encoded messages

[Carey Evans]

I've found a problem in Gnus v5.8.3 (with XEmacs 21.1 p8) when
forwarding messages (with S o m) that I've received with
quoted-printable encoded equals sign characters.  In particular, this
was with a URL like the following:

    http://www.invalid/lookup?id=EA123456

That's "? i d equals E A ...".  I'm forwarding this message at the
bottom of this one, which should show the problem.  When I receive
this message, I see the character at 0xea, i.e. "ê".

This problem shows up when I receive the email with Gnus 5.8, and with
Lotus Notes R5, so I suspect the sending process is getting something
wrong.

Data point: hitting C-d then looking at the forwarded message shows it
correctly.  Must be an issue of displaying the messages.

Error displaying Carey's article (was: Re: Forwarding quoted-printable encoded messages)

[Raymond Scholz]

Hm. If I display Kai's reply and then move of to Carey's initial
message I get the following:

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument window-live-p #<window 66>)
  select-window(#<window 66>)
  gnus-display-mime()
  gnus-article-prepare-display()
  gnus-article-prepare(3294 nil)
  gnus-summary-display-article(3294 nil)
  gnus-summary-select-article(nil nil pseudo)
  gnus-summary-scroll-up(1)
* call-interactively(gnus-summary-scroll-up)

Apparently, the *Article* buffer misinterprets the forwarded part as
the real message. So the buffer starts with the included message but I
still can scroll up, to see the whole article.

Cheers,
  Ray

Probably fixed it in the latest CVS version. Please verify.

BBDB might be the reason that cause this error.

It's gone (because the original thread already expired, I had to
reproduced a similiar situation).

Are you suggesting that I should remove Kai from my BBDB database?
