The default maximum line length is indeed supposed to be 78 (characters..and I can't now remember whether I implemented it in terms of characters or octets), that's per RFC 5322. What is wrong is that content encoded text is supposed to use a max line length of 76. A "simple" fix would be to hardcode the maximum line length at 76 when doing content encoding. An arguably better fix would be a separate policy control for the encoded text line length. The former can be the bug fix, but it would be nice to have the latter as an enhancement. ---------- title: SMTP EmailPolicy not setting max_line_length as expected. RCF 2045 states 76 char, Default policy uses 78 -> SMTP EmailPolicy not using the correct line length for RCF 2045 encoded data (is 78, should be 76) _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34025> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
