[jira] Commented: (JAMES-638) Wrong default encoding in text
message (Autoconverted: from 8bit to quoted-printable)
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-638?page=comments#action_12438067 ]
Stefano Bagnara commented on JAMES-638:
---------------------------------------
Yes, this seems a bug. Not sure if the bug is in James or in Javamail.
And this is probably related to JAMES-52.
The problem here seems to be that the remote site does not support 8bitmime so James try to make sure the message is 7bit and call its own convertTo7bit. The convert to 7bit simply change the headers for the message to include quoted-printable. This was an hack for a bug in javamail and most time will not change the content because we temporarily disabled 8bitmime and messages received by james are not 8bit.
The problem is that this message has no Content-Type/Content-Transfer-Encoding specification by default and adding quoted-printable "corrupt" the plain text body.
This is related to this javamail bugs (I opened all of them):
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6456415
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6456422
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6456444
At a glance we probably hit a bad/misbehaving part of javamail with this issue: I'm not sure wether we should try to find a fix/workaround now or try to wait for javamail 1.4.1!
PS: this bug is probably also in 2.3.0!
