`Check for clipping' (line 508) in mhrcvars.pl::replace_li_var has some problems. (The version of MHonArc is 2.3.3.) First, < etc. are not treated correctly. (Already fixed?) This is obviously bug because when the subject is Subject: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> then $len will ALWAYS be added by 45 (= (4 - 1) * 15). As a result, $ret will be >>>>>>>>>>>>>> though expected result is >>>>>>>>>> when $SUBJECTNA:10$ specified. This can be fixed with this patch. ======================================== --- mhrcvars.pl,orig Mon Mar 1 15:59:31 1999 +++ mhrcvars.pl Thu Mar 25 14:02:15 1999 @@ -506,13 +506,8 @@ } # Check for clipping - if ($len > 0 && $canclip) { - # Check for entity refs and modify clip length accordingly - foreach ($ret =~ /(\&[^;\s]*;)/g) { - $len += length($_) -1; - } - $ret = substr($ret, 0, $len); - } + $ret = join("", ($ret =~ /(\&[^;\s]*;|.)/g)[0 .. $len - 1]) + if ($len > 0 && $canclip); # Check if JavaScript string $ret =~ s/(["'])/\\$1/g if $jstr; ======================================== Again, this still have Japanese problem. You know, strings of ISO-2022-JP can't be clipped straightforwardly, e.g. when you want to shorten | ESC $ B $ 3 $ s $ K $ A $ O ESC ( B # KO-N-NI-CHI-WA, "hello" in Japanese | --- --- --- --- --- | KO N NI CHI WA to 4 char length string (i.e. $len = 4), it should be clipped as | ESC $ B $ 3 $ s ESC ( B | --- --- | KO N I think it's not easy to solve this problem (at least with current implementation) because $ret no longer has charset information. Do you have any idea? -- Takashi P.KATOH
