Dear Developer,
Please remove this bug. Apologize for this premature report.
What happens is: Thunderbird writes an embedded Outlook e-mail, Quoted
Printable, in
an .eml file. The file is decoded to plain text, but the header
"content-transfer-encoding quoted printable" is left.
If the file is attached to a new mail, it is attached as message/rfc828
, and mime-tools rebuilds the structure
and replaces = by =3D on the assumption that it's quoted-printable. But
this kills the message content.
"kmail" of KDE4 writes only the decoded contents, without the
embedded headers, an usable workaround.
Which program should be considered as buggy in this chain, I do not
know, I think Thunderbird has to be blamed to leave
the content-transfer-encoding header in the .eml after decoding.
I'll just rename the .eml files to .txt, they will be attached as
text/plain and the problem is solved.....
Thanks and kind regards,
