That line is more than 78 characters long, in violation of another 'RECOMMENDED' in §3.5 of RFC2822.

If you want to participate in a public forum, you are expected to show a little bit of respect for netiquette. I don't have anything to contribute to the thread -- it's not my area of expertise. Hence I want to ignore the thread -- but that's not easy since your broken MUA keeps creating _new_ threads. > BTW: I am using 'mailx' which is _the_ official mail reader from the POSIX > standard...... I care not what it is; it's broken. Please stop using it in public fora. I note that it also includes 8-bit data without Content-Type: or Content-Transfer-Encoding: headers. According to §§5.2 and 6.1 of RFC2045, the default values to be assumed in the absence of those headers are 'text/plain; charset=us-ascii' and '7BIT' respectively. It is therefore erroneous to use the octet 0xf6 where presumably you intended the character 'ö', because that is not a valid US-ASCII character, and because the octet 0xf6 is not permitted in '7bit' data. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
