Summary: wrong mime conversion in BODY[HEADER.FIELDS]
Description:
I used a 2.2.7-RC4 for a long time. Recently I have update from the Fedora
repository to 2.2.9 first, then 2.2.11. Now I have tried latest 2.2 branch
(because stable source for 2.2.11 has a compile bug - crypt). All three
versions has the same bug.
All messages arrived before the update have a format [u...@example.com] or
[Real Name <u...@example.com>] in a fromfield, but after the update, the
second format is ["Real Name" <u...@example.com>] (a real name is quoted),
which can be okay.
If the Real Name contains non-ascii characters, response to IMAP FETCH
(BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (From)]) is like this:
* 18 FETCH (UID 1445906 BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (from)] {58}
from: "Accent =?iso-8859-1?b?QeEi?= <m...@example.com>
)
(the Real Name was [Accent Aa], where last character is "a" with an
accent). The second quotation mark is encoded into mime string (you can
decode it into [Aa"]).
For example Squirrelmail shows ["Accent =?iso-8859-1?b?QeEi?=
<m...@example.com>] in the from field in a messages list

I made an investigation. In a file dbmail-imapsession in a function
_fetch_headers at line 1263 db_get_result(i,2) returns a correct value (in
a native utf-8 coding), but call into a function dbmail_iconv_db_to_utf7
breaks it. This function is trivial and it forward call only into a mime
function g_mime_utils_header_encode_text.
* I (and all Fedora users) may have wrong mime lib
* this mime function isn't perfect for email addresse's headers
* removing quota marks from the db cache dbmail_headervalue (e.g. there is
no quotas in dbmail_fromfield values) can solve the issue

bump...
There is possible nobody has the same problem such as one I've described?

Hi idk. I had digged into these issues months ago.
The former issue is caused by dbmail:misc.c:imap_cleanup_address(). In the
middle of the function, it explicitly quotes a MIME encoded string
regardless of how a string is originally written.
The latter issue is caused by
gmime:gmime/gmime-message.c:write_addrspec(). At some point of its
development (maybe gmime-2.2.1x), the function was changed to call a series
of internet_address_*() functions.
IIRC, internet_address_parse_string() converts a MIME encoded string to
UTF-8 and internet_address_list_writer() re-converts UTF-8 to MIME encoded
string. The former conversion loses the charset information and the latter
tries to guess based on a string given but likely to fail.
The attached patch is for gmime-2.2.23 which partially reverts the changes
of the function may help.

Now I'm using 3.0.0 and such problem isn't there anymore.
