[GitHub] incubator-ponymail issue #366: Bug: may corrupt 8bit message source if it is...
GitHub user sebbASF opened an issue:

Bug: may corrupt 8bit message source if it is not encoded in UTF-8
The code currently unconditionally converts the parsed message bytes to UTF-8 before storage in the mbox_source index.
This can corrupt messages sent using 8bit transport if they contain data which is not compatible with UTF-8. For example non-ASCII characters.
This affects the display of message sources as well as mbox download.

If the source is in ASCII, then it can be stored safely; it is only bytes outside the ASCII range that may get corrupted by encoding/decoding.
Since many emails are ASCII only, it makes sense to only use base64 for those
