[jira] [Created] (EMAIL-121) Outlook displays an email incorrectly
if there is a newline in the Subject
Dominik Stadler created EMAIL-121:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Outlook displays an email incorrectly if there is a newline in the Subject
Key: EMAIL-121
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-121
Project: Commons Email
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.3
Environment: 1.3 SNAPSHOT, Outlook "14.0.6123.5001"
Reporter: Dominik Stadler
Priority: Critical
Agreed it is not very useful, but it took me quite a while to figure out why outlook did not display the email correctly.
Here a simplified reproducer:
{quote}
public class EmailSendingReproducer {
private static final String MESSAGE_HTML =
"<html>" +
"<body>" +
"Sincerly<br/>" +
"Your hard-working setup application<br/>" +
"</body></html>";
private static final String MESSAGE_TXT =
"Sincerly<br/>" +
"Your hard-working setup application<br/>" +
"\n";
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
sendEmail("\n1Setup job '[setup,sync]' finished on machine");
sendEmail("Setup job '[setup,sync]' finished on machine");
System.out.println("Done");
}
public static void sendEmail(String subject) throws IOException, EmailException, AddressException {
final ImageHtmlEmail email = new ImageHtmlEmail();
email.setDataSourceResolver(new DataSourceResolverImpl(new File(".").toURI().toURL(), true));
// set properties on the Email object
email.setHostName("somesmtphost");
email.setSmtpPort(25);
email.setTo(Arrays.asList(InternetAddress.parse("whereyouare@example.com")));
email.setFrom("test@example.com");
email.setSubject(subject);
email.setMsg(MESSAGE_TXT);
email.setHtmlMsg(MESSAGE_HTML);
email.send();
}

[jira] [Resolved] (EMAIL-121) Outlook displays an email incorrectly
if there is a newline in the Subject
Posted by "Sebb (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-121?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Sebb resolved EMAIL-121.
------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
If you send the following subject it will work OK:
{code}sendEmail("\n Setup job '[setup,sync]' finished on machine");{code}
A line without a space in column 1 is treated as part of the message body (or a header if it looks like one)
This is not a bug in Commons Email, which just passes the subject to JavaMail.
The work-round is: don't use new-lines in the subject field.

[jira] [Commented] (EMAIL-121) Outlook displays an email
incorrectly if there is a newline in the Subject
Posted by "Sebb (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Sebb commented on EMAIL-121:
----------------------------
Does SMTP allow newLines in subjects?
Line-breaks are used to wrap long lines, so may occur in the transmitted data, but these should be removed by the receiver before display.
