This is Mailman 2.1.4, by the way...
Say I send a message to a list that I'm on, with a copy directly to myself. To that message, I attach a document with a really long name, like:
Response to Technical Issues - ETC - 2004-02-28-v3-LetsMakeThisReallyReallyLongByAddingManyMoreWordsToTheTitle.d
oc
In the copy of the message that comes directly to me, the headers in the attachment look like this (line numbers inserted so you can tell where the line breaks really were):
1. Content-Type: application/msword;
2. name="Response to Technical Issues - ETC - 2004-02-28-v3-LetsMakeThisReallyReallyLongByAddingManyMoreWordsToTheTitle.d
oc"
3. Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
4. Content-Disposition: attachment;
5. filename="Response to Technical Issues - ETC - 2004-02-28-v3-LetsMakeThisReallyReallyLongByAddingManyMoreWordsToTheTitle.d
oc";
6. size=19742
Note that the 'name="...' and 'filename="...' elements were each one long line.
In the copy of the message that comes to me via the list, the corresponding headers in the attachment look something like:
1. Content-Type: application/msword; name="Response to Technical Issues
2. <tab>- ETC -2004-02-28-v3-
LetsMakeThisReallyReallyLongByAddingManyMoreWordsToTheTitle.doc"
3. Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
4. Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Response to Technical Issues
5. <tab>- ETC -2004-02-28-v3-LetsMakeThisReallyReallyLongByAddingManyMoreWordsToTheTitle.
doc";
6. <tab>size=19742
I've slightly changed the place that the long lines were broken, in hopes
that this message will make it through with its formatting mostly intact, but you get the idea. What Mailman seems to be doing is reflowing the header -- has moved the 'name="...' and 'filename="...' elements up onto the end of the previous line, then decided that the resulting line was too long and broken it in the middle of a string.
This seems wrong to me (and to our director :-). But maybe it's legal, and it's the client's fault for not properly re-assembling the header?
