Kevin,

I am very well aware of what byte sequences constitute the end of a line. However, if the problem were this simple it would have been fixed long ago. Contrary to what some have said here, we have seen many instances where IMail likewise appends its headers to the end of the message.

The broken line terminators are not necessarily of the same type in a given message. In addition, they are not necessarily adjacent to each other (with leading whitespace or unprintable characters on a line). What may appear obvious to the eye is often not at all what exists behind the scene. You may look at a message and be certain where the headers end and the body begins (the separating blank line). However, that message may not necessarily contain two consecutive EOL sequences of any type anywhere.

I do not understand why you need to rewrite the message beyond what you already do? Just determine the end of headers properly then rewrite the message with your headers in the proper location. You already rewrite the message when adding headers so why would it take any longer to properly detect the end of headers.

If you have two LF sequences next to each other ignoring the CR then you have the end of headers.

For example if you have

CRLFCRLF

OR

LFCRLFCR

OR

LFLF

I have never seen a message use CR alone for an end of line.

There are two LF bytes in each sequence ignore the CR bytes. Then when writing out the message with the Declude headers include the original byte sequences for each line. And the Declude lines should have the proper CRLF sequences.


My two cents!

1. I don't like to keep going in circles on this. If it was as easy as
"just
fix it" there would be no issue. Please understand that this is a lot
more
complex than you may realize, we are considering making the fixing of
line
terminators as an optional feature to be turned on/off because of a
potential performance degradation of rewriting the messages.
