Package: rss2email
Version: 1:3.8-1~exp1
Severity: minor

When I set “encodings = UTF-8” in my rss2email.cfg, then some of the From headers ended up doubly-encoded. For example, from the feed <http://prawo.vagla.pl/node/feed> I got e-mail with this header:

From:
 =?utf-8?b?PT91dGYtOD9xP3ByYXdvXz03Q19WYUdsYT0yRXBsX1ByYXdvX2lfSW50ZXJuZXRf?=
 =?utf-8?b?LV9wcmF3bmVfYXNwZWt0eV89MjJzcG89QzU9ODJlY3plPUM1PTg0c3R3YV9pbmZv?=
 =?utf-8?b?cm1hY3lqbmVnbz0yMj0zQV9WYUdsYT89?= <[email protected]>

This is what you get when you decode the B-encoded part:

 
=?utf-8?q?prawo_=7C_VaGla=2Epl_Prawo_i_Internet_-_prawne_aspekty_=22spo=C5=82ecze=C5=84stwa_informacyjnego=22=3A_VaGla?=

And you'd need to decode it again to get the actual feed title and author:

 prawo | VaGla.pl Prawo i Internet - prawne aspekty "społeczeństwa 
informacyjnego": VaGla

Now, apparently this doesn't happen if US-ASCII is included as the first encoding, and admittedly removing it from the list wasn't the smartest thing to do on my side. But still, I would prefer if rss2email wouldn't let me shoot myself in the foot this way. :)

Hello

I've taken over rss2email maintainership, this is a mass answer to old
bugs to see if they apply to the latest version in sid (1:3.11-1).

Some of this bugs were reported when rss2email used python2, I hope
some of them are fixed just by using newer libraries and/or python
interpreter.

Therefore I ask you $reporter to verify if the bug still applies against
the latest version in sid, and if it does reopen the bug.

thanks!
