[Pan-users] user-agent header for v0.138: Ger ät apparently not mail-RFCs compliant (unencoded non-a scii) |

Pan/0.138 (Der Gerat; GIT 817400a /usr/src/portage/src/egit-src/pan2) |
I thought for sure I had posted on this to pan-devel, but I sure don't
see the post. <shrug> Oh well, I have a patch now, and it might help for
others, so...
I follow the gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs group on gmane, which of
course is a news gateway to the linux-btrfs (at) vger.kernel.org btrfs
development mailing list.
Unfortunately, after the git repo bump to 0.138, "Der Gerät", I could no
longer post. I kept getting bounces from the listserv objecting to non-
mime-encoded characters in the headers. It turned out to be that ä in
Gerät.
Most newsservs and the nntp transpart is now almost full 8-bit-clean,
including utf-8, but that's not always true of mail, obviously, so for
gmane and other news2mail gateways and for replies via email, that header
really does need either mime-7-bit-ascii encoded or pan's 0.138 version
name changed to something else.
For now, I've simply patched the offending character back into a standard
ascii "a". Here's the patch, if anyone else needs it.
I'm attaching via pan's attachment feature. Hope it works thru gmane!
If not, here's the inline version as well. Hope it's not munged too!
