While we're on the subject of broken mailers... One of the members on
a list I run is using some CC:Mail stuff, and he's emitting messages
that look like this:
=== begins ===
[Normal head, except the old Re[n]: convention in Subject instead of just Re:]
[Normal body]
[Text in message replied to, with no marking or delimter in between]
The following is an attached File item from cc:Mail. It contains
information that had to be encoded to ensure successful transmission
through various mail systems. To decode the file use the UUDECODE
program.
--------------------------------- Cut Here ---------------------------------
begin 644 RFC822.TXT
M4F5C96EV960Z(&9R;VT@<WEM:7-E<G9E<C(N<WEM86YT96,N8V]M(&)Y('-Y
[...]
M87)S970]55,M05-#24D-"E-E;F1E<CH@;W=N97(M9&5W>2UF:65L9'-`:69I
;+G5I;RYN;PT*4')E8V5D96YC93H@8G5L:PT*
end
=== ends ===
If you uudecode it, you get the headers of the message s/he replied
to. Discussions with the user indicates that he's able to remove the
included text, but not the uuencoded headers.
Does anyone know if it can be configured to behave? I would prefer to
find a solution so that I don't have to revoke the member's posting
access. (I really hate to read messages from people who use mail
agents where you can't edit the quoted material, anyway.)
