[Bug 4404] New: header parsing problem with colons (":")
http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4404
Summary: header parsing problem with colons (":")
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.0.3
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P5
Component: Rules
AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
ReportedBy: peter@rittwage.com
In trying to write a local rule that catches spam with a colon (":") character
in it, I noticed a problem. A message with a subject like "Wanted: Customer
Service Agents" will cause SpamAssassin to flag a message as having no subject
line (and score 1.6 points accordingly) since the ":" seems to reset the parsing
of the line. The message appears to SpamAssassin as having no subject line, but
now includes a "Warning:" line instead. This causes all subjects with colons in
them to be munged when processed, so a subject like this "Welcome Home: I Love
You" will only register as having the subject of "Welcome" and another header
entry called "Home:" with the value "I Love You". Not sure how to fix this if
the entire header parsing is done by the colon characters. Thanks for all the
great work.

I tested this further. When I exported the mail from my reader, it added
newlines which caused this. It is not a bug-- I am very sorry to waste your time.
