R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Hmm. I suspect that that typo is fortunate rather than the source of a bug. As far as I can see, if a message contains valid iso-2022 characters, it will always encode to ASCII successfully and therefore be given a content-transfer-encoding of 7bit. If on the other hand it contains 8 bit characters, it should be marked as 8bit, even if it claims to be iso-2022. (Well, actually it should throw an error, but that's a different bug.)
In other words, I think the correct thing to do is to delete that if test. Do you have a case where the code produces incorrect behavior that your patch turns into correct behavior? ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray priority: -> normal stage: -> test needed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7472> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
