Bug #2745
closedMail::Message turns " \n" into " "
0%
Description
Hi,
The text that I passed to SetBody() contained some lines with \" \n", and in the quoted-printable mail it gets replaced by " =\", in effect removing my \n.
I'm having to guess that you assume this is flowed text, but there is no format=flowed in the message. In my case it was actually the database containing something that ended with a space for some reason, so I should just trim that, but it was unexpected behavior for me.
If you want to support flowed text can I suggest that you flow the text instead breaking up the long line after the space, and adding the proper headers?

Hey,
As far as I understand, quoted-printable should be a loss-less encoding, except for this aspect.
I just verified this on this site: http://www.webatic.com/run/convert/qp.php that indeed that is the case:
This line ends with '\n'.
This line ends with ' \n'
This line does not really end but keeps on going, over 72 characters, which is really long.
I do not think that other encodings can be used instead; a binary encoding would probably suffer from other issues to transport the textual message.

The proper way to do this in quoted-printable is by changing the \" \n\" to "=20\n".
