RFC 2047 encoded headers are causing unbalanced '"'

RFC 2047 encoded headers are causing unbalanced '"'

Hello,

I have problems to send mails to recipients having the form

| "Für mich" <foo>

(first name is an 'F' plus a german &uuml; umlaut). Gnus encodes this as

| =?iso-8859-1?Q?=22F=FCr?= mich" <foo>

which is rejected by sendmail with

| DSN: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=22F=FCr?= mich" <foo>... Unbalanced '"'

Other mailers (e.g. ssmtp) mishandle this completely causing silently
lost mails.


I am using Gnus v5.10.7 with "XEmacs 21.5 (beta27) "fiddleheads" [Lucid]
(i686-redhat-linux, Mule) of Thu Jan 25 2007 on hammer2.fedora.redhat.com"
(Fedora 6).



Thx
Enrico

This problem (I'm unsure if it's a bug) has been fixed in the stable
branch and in the trunk.  I'm not sure if the change was after the
release of 5.10.8 or not.

$ emacs22 -Q -f ielm

(iso-8859-1)

"To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?F=FCr_mich?= <foo@bar>"
ELISP> 

Bye, Reiner.

thx; I will ask the XEmacs people (who are shipping the Gnus package)
about it...
