This issue will be not fixed officially in the mlmmj (http://osdir.com/ml/mail.mlmmj.general/2007-12/msg00003.html) Few options left: a) found the way to change Content-Transfer-Encoding from base64 to 8bit on gmail b) declare that gmail is not supported on opensuse mailing lists c) remove the plaintext footer on the lists and change it somehow d) use any non-"official" mlmmj patch e) use another mailing list software :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

--- Comment #5 from Ervin Novak <enovak@novell.com> 2009-01-09 07:03:35 MST ---
When one sends an email from Gmail, it's encoded depending on the content of
the mail.
> arvizturo tukorfurogep
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
> árvizturo tükörfúrógép
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
> árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-2
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
In case of opensuse-hu the footer is the following plaintext:
[footer]
--
To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-hu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org
For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-hu+help@opensuse.org
[/footer]
But isn't added in a new MIME part, it's appended to the end of the base64
encoded part. So a client will decode the plaintext footer, too.
The result is familiar:
enovak@enovak:~> mimencode -u
--
To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-hu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org
For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-hu+help@opensuse.org
�����v+b�v�r��jwl���j)���������i��^�ˬ{�+
which is exactly the same as seen on the mailing list.
> a) find the way to change Content-Transfer-Encoding from base64 to 8bit on
gmail
Can not be set. Anyone who uses accented characters, will send a base64 encoded
mail from gmail.
> b) declare that gmail is not supported on opensuse mailing lists
For the Hungarian list, we should (as for now).
> c) remove the plaintext footer on the lists and change it somehow
> d) use any non-"official" mlmmj patch
There could be a parser, which decides in virtue of encoding:
* emails with 7bit/8bit/quoted-printable encoding get the plain text footer;
* emails with base64 encoding get a base64 encoded footer;
* emails with unknown encoding should not get a footer.
