Hello to all,
When I setup "mime_forward=yes" to forward messages in mime format I
depared with the folowing decode settings bellow and now I have a *big*
confusion in my head:
----------------------------------------------------------
forward_decode
Type: boolean
Default: yes
Controls the decoding of complex MIME messages into
text/plain when forwarding a message. The message
header is also RFC2047 decoded. *This variable is
only used, if "mime_forward" is unset, otherwise
"mime_forward_decode" is used instead.*
mime_forward_decode
Type: boolean
Default: no
*Controls the decoding of complex MIME messages into
text/plain when forwarding a message while
"mime_forward" is set. Otherwise "forward_decode"
is used instead.*
----------------------------------------------------------
1. The first item "forward_decode" is easy to understand because it is only
used if "mime_forward" is unset. In this case this variable is not used
because I have "mime_forward=yes".
2. The second item "mime_forward_decode" is the problem for me to decide
setting "yes" or "no" because it not make much sense since it defaults to
"no".
QUESTION:
If "forward_decode" is not used because "mime_forward" is set, then what
decode will be used since "mime_forward_decode" defaults to "no"?
What I think it is correct:
Since "forward_decode" is only used if "mime_forward" is unset ("no") and
"mime_forward_decode" is only used if "mime_forward" is set ("yes") then the
correct defaults to "forward_decode" and "mime_forward_decode" should be:
--------------------
forward_decode
Type: boolean
Default: yes
mime_forward_decode
Type: boolean
Default: YES
-------------------
and not
--------------------
forward_decode
Type: boolean
Default: yes
mime_forward_decode
Type: boolean
Default: NO
-------------------
CONCLUSION:
If "mime_forward=yes", we need to setup "mime_forward_decode=YES" too to
solve this issue.
Am I right?
Or I am *very* confused about this?
Please explain to me if I'm wrong.
Thanks very much,
