Hello!
I'm using Email::Simple and exploring the features. Today I was reading
the headers of email messages, and found that the first line of the
headers, the "From emailaddress date" line, is mangled. This happens
because the header-splitting algorithm splits all header lines on the
first colon (':'). This results in splitting like this:
my @header=$email->header_pairs;
$header[0]="From user@address.com Sun Apr 1 13";
$header[1]="49:01 2007";
It's not the world's most important header, which is probably why this
hasn't been discovered before.
Thanks for a very useful program!
