Package: slrn
Version: 0.9.9~pre97-1
Severity: normal
I don't know whether this is a new "feature", or one that has been
exposed by a recent change at google, but slrn now nags with:
Your message is not acceptable for the following reason(s):
One word of the header is too long to get folded.
This message was generated while looking at the following line
References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Sure it's long, and a weak violation of the RFC's, but the alternative
is to break the reference header altogether. Since any half decent
software out there will be programmed competantly enough not to get a
buffer overflow when presented with a long header of this sorts, does
it really matter if we send out a header that is slightly too long?
This has been discussed in news.software.readers, but I don't know
what the long term plan is - I was under the impression that this had
been recently fixed, but then it seems that there were actually
several header-breaking bugs and this one might have slipped under the
radar.
