Bug#428056: Doesn't correctly display text/plain; format=flowed mails
Package: debbugs Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. --- First, to see what I mean just look at this bugreport via webinterface and notice how the lines in the Package information-table below starting with 1(!) whitespace followed by OR appear to have 2 whitespaces. Compare this with the output of your mailclient which should just show 1 whitespace. The problem is the MimeType format=flowed http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3676 4.1. Interpreting Format=Flowed If the first character of a line is a space, the line has been space-stuffed (see Section 4.4). Logically, this leading space is deleted before examining the line further (that is, before checking for flowed). If a mail is encoded with format=flowed a line starting with a single whitespace is encoded with 2 whitespaces. A reasonable mailclient will strip one whitespace again when a user reads the mail. Unfortunately debbugs does not. So mails written with reportbug-ng and icedove (which uses format=flowed by default in plaintext mails) suffer from this cosmetical issue.

Bug#428056: Doesn't correctly display text/plain; format=flowed mails
severity 428056 minor retitle 428056 [bugreport.cgi] Delete double leading spaces when displaying format=flowed mails thanks On Fri, 08 Jun 2007, Bastian Venthur wrote: Package: debbugs Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. --- First, to see what I mean just look at this bugreport via webinterface and notice how the lines in the Package information-table below starting with 1(!) whitespace followed by OR appear to have 2 whitespaces. Compare this with the output of your mailclient which should just show 1 whitespace. Ok; this can probably be changed for format=flowed, though reportbug-ng probably shouldn't bother to send messages with format=flowed. Don Armstrong -- This can't be happening to me.

Ok; this can probably be changed for format=flowed, though reportbug-ng probably shouldn't bother to send messages with format=flowed. This it not a rng specific issue, it's icedove which sets format=flowed by default when composing mails in plaintext mode, there is nothing rng can do about it, since i just call icedove with a mailto:URL. I don't know if it is a proper fix to just strip a whitespace on double spaces on the beginning of the line when format=flowed is detected. I'm not a perl-guru, but I guess there is some lib which can correctly format every freakin' mailformat to proper html.

Ah. PS: How is my SOAP support going, I just had to fix an issue with html parsing again today :) Slow; I'm actually fairly close to fixing archiving support which is my current major task, but I should have it working the way I want shortly.
