Package: amavisd-new
Version: 20030616p10-5
Severity: normal

The standard RFC 2047 says that the subject field must not be longer
than 76 characters, and specifies a way to encode the subject field.

The standard specifies that the subject can be split into severel
encoded words seperated by CRLFspace "\r\n ". Using this, I am sending
the following email subject field:

Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?MTIzNDU2Nzg5IDEyMzQ1Njc4OSAxMjM0NQ==?=
 =?ISO-8859-1?B?Njc4OSAxMjM0NTY3ODkgMTIzNDU2Nzg5IA==?=
 =?ISO-8859-1?B?MTIzNDU2Nzg5IDEyMzQ1Njc4OSA=?=

("123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 " 
encoded in base64). However, amavis appends the error message

X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER Improper use of control character (char 0D hex) in 
message header 'Subject'
        Subject: ...5IDEyMzQ1Njc4OSAxMjM0NQ==?=\r\n =?ISO-8859-1?... ^

(char 0D hex is a carrige return).
