Package: rss2email
Version: 1:2.62-3
Severity: normal
rss2email includes the title of a blog in the From address, not just the
author name. Apart from being semantically wrong (From contains the
author name, not the topic) this causes excessively long From headers
that a) get truncated in the message overview of most MUAs, so author
name isn't visible and
b) trigger bugs in other software (e.g. nullmailer[1]).
I suggest using the title only if the author name cannot be determined
(i.e. replace each "+=" in getName() with "=").

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!
