Incorrectly interpreted mail body

[zevv]

Properly handling different encodings really is a pain in the butt, here is another issue I ran into. This mail body is not interpreted right by sup.

From: foo@aol.com
To: foo@test.com
Subject: Encoding bug
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

This is =91 a test: the first line seems to disappear from the mail body but is
still visible in the thread view.

There are two issues with this:

• The mail shows up in the index view, it shows the subject and the first few characters of the mail body, but the wrapping goes wrong: the last 2 characters of the line fold to the left two columns of the next line in the terminal
• In the thread view the first line is not displayed, only the second line is
  visible (thus only the text "still visible in the thread view.")

Unfortunately I now have an unhappy customer because I missed the first line
of his mail :)

Yeah.. the eternal struggle goes on, sorry to hear it caused problems for you. The Mail gem (#127) would probably perform better, but we're not there yet. Maybe there is something we can tweak... or at least warn the user about the incorrectly parsed e-mail. Was this HTML? Or does the text you pasted above provide a full example?

No problem, every crash solved leads to a bit more stable sup, which is a good thing.

The original mail was longer, but the above snippet is the minimal mail I can reproduce the content with. I test by passing the above with some HELO etc to port 25 of my mail server.

Great! minimal working example is the best.

This seems to be related to how sup displays the line, the line is parsed alright by RMail.
