Question concerning MIME_QP_LONG_LINE

[Office of the Postmaster <po...@aeonflux.net>]

	*  1.8 MIME_QP_LONG_LINE RAW: Quoted-printable line longer than 76 chars

------=_NextPart_000_0001_47200277.05070052

message body

----=_NextPart_007_9001_45c82de7.099C8585_B7D4--


I'm getting this on most messages going out of our Sendmail 8.12.9p2 
systems.  I think I am misunderstanding what this means.  I thought it 
meant that in the HTML message body section of the email that the length of 
individual lines had exceeded 76 characters and so I wrote a parser that 
made sure no line was longer than 72 characters and yet I continued to get 
the warning.

What does this point score refer too since it doesnt go away by making the 
changes that I did?  And we did not used to get this message I think before 
August.

ps thanks ahead for any help on this.

It really should trigger on lines 77 chars and longer.

I can't get MIME_QP_LONG_LINE to trigger on the message body sample
above. Is there a way you can post an entire sample message? even if
it's using something like pastebin..

Also, what exact version of SpamAssassin are you using? the 1.8 score
implies 3.2.x. I tested using 3.2.3.

quoted-printable lines in mail may be up to 76 characters long, so those
lines violate mime specification (see rfc 2045). Find out who generates
them. Do your mail clients send 8bit charsacters in messages?
