Re: The Bat! - bug report - Message Truncated after =00
Hi Steve, On 22 May 2000 at 07:45:51 GMT -0700 (which was 15:45 where I live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject of "The Bat! - bug report - Message Truncated after =00": the sequence "=00". At this sequence the message get truncated by the mail server (Zero Byte means often "end of Text"). Uhm, in what context. In the context of 'C' and 'C++' programming where a nul character (Ascii Zero) denotes the end of a string of characters. Since most *nix servers are written in C the chances are that some of them may well trip over nul bytes in strings fields. This is, of course, a coding bug rather than adherence to any specific standard :-). -- Cheers, .\\arck Marck D.

Yes, now translate how a single null character will truncate an entire message and not just a single string; considering each line is a separate string. Also, aren't those codes normally appended to the end of the line? What, then, is going to be trunctated? :) -- Steve C.

Yes, now translate how a single null character will truncate an entire message and not just a single string; Easy (see below). considering each line is a separate string. Basic mistaken premise. You're talking standards/definitions - not 'C' programming. Also, aren't those codes normally appended to the end of the line? 'C' knows nothing of "lines". From the perspective of a 'C' program such entities are entirely a figment of the programmers fevered imagination. What, then, is going to be trunctated? :) 'C' programs know nothing of EOL /n characters. Streams know something of them ... if streams are being used at all. To parse a message and to stop at the end of every line is a feat of programming and not default behaviour of strings. The way this is usually achieved in 'C' is to read the message into a buffer and then to scan the buffer for /n characters. If the buffer (aka "string") runs out (i.e. has a nul) then a badly written program would stop parsing right there. This isn't a definitions issue. It's a bad programming issue. -- Cheers, .\\arck Marck D.

The Bat! - bug report - Message Truncated after =00
Hello The Bat! developers, I'm using The Bat! Version 1.42f Serial Number 12A1F196 under Windows 95 4.0 Build B and would like to report a bug The bug description: Sometime the messages generated by the Bat! (quoted printable coding) contain the sequence "=00". At this sequence the message get truncated by the mail server (Zero Byte means often "end of Text"). Steps to reproduce the bug: I do not find a pattern, a solution is simply _never_ add "=00" in the outgoing text.
