Subject: Wide character in subroutine entry in autoencode.t for a small change in test data
If the name used in the autoencode.t test is changed for example from ''Jÿmbo Jºhnsøn" to ''Jÿmbo Jºhnşøn", notice the "LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CEDILLA" instead of "s", than the test fails with: t/autoencode.t ................ 1/4 Wide character in subroutine entry at /home/stefan/perl5/perlbrew/perls/5.14.2t/lib/site_perl/5.14.2/Email/MIME /Encodings.pm line 47. --- Thanks, Ştefan

I noticed that if 'use utf8' is commented out than the error vanishes, and I suppose the problem is in the Email::MIME module. Probably the same as revealed by: "Bug #78716 for Email-MIME: use utf8 causes encoding issues"
This is absolutely a problem. The real problem is that I shortsightedly failed to define the various character/octet semantics and expectations of the system. This needs a comprehensive fix, which I will try to address this year. -- rjbs
Fixed in v3, I believe: http://rjbs.manxome.org/rubric/entry/2065 -- rjbs
