Package: muttprint Version: 0.73-7 Severity: normal Dear Rene Engelhard,
First of all, thanks for taking care of muttprint in Debian for over 15 years! I saved a raw multipart/alternative (both text/plain and text/html) email message in /tmp/mail.msg; ran muttprint -p - -f - <mail.msg >mail.ps and ran evince mail.ps. The result is not what I expected. I feel these days, muttprint is getting a bit stale. It is not suitable to use with modern email: - it keeps stuff like "Subject: =?utf-8?Q?blah blah?=" as-is and does not know how to deal with this encoding of non-ascii stuff in Subject headers. - it keeps stuff like Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="B_ALT_59e07adc16e56" Sender: <prod10...@srv8.delcomsubdomain.com> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. Your email application may not support this format. --B_ALT_59e07adc16e56 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Beste Joost Baal-Ilic, --B_ALT_59e07adc16e56 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <p>Beste Joost Baal-Ilic,</p> --B_ALT_59e07adc16e56-- just as-is and does not choose e.g. to just skip the html alternative. I feel these lacking features should either - get added - get properly and clearly documented. (The package Description currently has "Muttprint formats the printing of Mutt and other mail clients to be as pretty as the printing of Mozilla or Kmail."; I don't think that's still true...) - or the package should get removed from Debian . How do you feel about this?
