[Spamassassin Wiki] Update of "Rules/MIME_QP_LONG_LINE" by LeeMaguire

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Spamassassin Wiki" for change notification.

The "Rules/MIME_QP_LONG_LINE" page has been changed by LeeMaguire.
The comment on this change is: update reference to RFC 2045, add note about 76/78 line lengths..
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Rules/MIME_QP_LONG_LINE?action=diff&rev1=2&rev2=3

--------------------------------------------------

  === Explanation ===
  
  The Quoted-Printable encoding REQUIRES that encoded lines be no more than 76 characters long.
- See page 18: [[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1521.txt]]
+ See [[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2045#page-20|RFC 2045]].
  
  === Further Info ===
  
  The default scores for this rule can be found [[http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests.html|in the online list of tests]].
  
+ Although the Quoted-Printable specification requires lines be no more than 76 characters, many implementations ignore this and use a suggested line limit from 
+ [[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#page-7|RFC 5322]] of 78 characters.  Therefore it is not unusual to see this rule triggered by non-spam. See [[https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5491|Bug 5491]].
