  <description>Mail is cut when using dots as only char on a line</description>

   <title>When I send a mail that has a line with a single dot in it, </title> 
   <description>When I send a mail that has a line with a single dot in it, the mail is cut. Example mail:



Test begin

.

.

Test end



As I understand it, the problem is that mail-agents use this single dot on a line as a mail-end marker. Using other webmail programs there I have no problems. The problem wouldnt be that serious, if this happens also under some other circumstances:



After som investigation I found out that mail is cut when I have a long word at the end of a paragraph that contains a german umlaut and that ends with a dot. I set the automatic line break in horde to 80 chars. Here is a test mail:



Test begin

if I have a paragraph that ends with a german word with an umlaut in it, the

mail is cut. My settings in horde are to do a line break when the line exceeds

80 chars.



This is the paragraph:

This is a paragraph that is two lines long. It ends with a dot. If the width is

set to 80 the rest of the mail is cut if there is a long wor durchgeführt.



Here is the next paragraph. You will not receive it, because the mail ist cut at

the end of the previous paragraph.



Test end</description>

   <description>I very much think this should be considered a bug. My sons teacher and I wasted a lot of time because most of her email texts did not reach me (she tried several times but copied some of the same text). Eventually she printed one of the emails and delivered it by hand.

It turned out she had (accidentially I suppose) written a dot as the only char on a line. The dot and everything following it was cut off and of course she did not understand why and neither did I until I found this thread.
I know of no other email clients behaving like this. I tested 3 email clients (MS Outlook, GMail, and an other web mail client - all of them both with HTML and plain text) and none of them behaves like this. I admit that pressing . is a little faster than pressing e.g. SHIFT+CTRL+END DEL but for most users this is a very annoying and obscure behaviour. Please remove this &quot;feature&quot;.

I don&#039;t have access to IMF myself, so I can&#039;t test a minimal example and I obviously does not have an electronic version of the email texts. But this is a reproduction of what must be the lines that trigged the &quot;feature&quot; (the second letter in the line just before the line with the single dot is the Danish letter ae concatenation - don&#039;t know if it makes any difference):

This is not a &quot;feature&quot;, it&#039;s a misconfiguration by the administrator of your Horde install.

   <description>&gt; This is not a &quot;feature&quot;, it&#039;s a misconfiguration by the administrator 
&gt; of your Horde install.

Thanks Michael for clearing that up.
(a minor clarification: it is not &quot;my&quot; Horde install, as I am just the receiver of emails sent by Horde/IMP).
It seems that the administrator is not quiet up to the job. I wonder if this misconfiguration is the default configuration. Anyone knows?

As explained in the earlier comment (http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/1628#c2) the default configuration value is the correct value.</description>

    * Fixed bug 1628 (encoding of URLs and freelinks)
    
    * Updated &quot;Table&quot; parser and Xhtml renderer to mark a header cell (e.g., &quot;||~ this is a header ||&quot;)
    
    * Added &quot;Anchor&quot; parser and Xhtml renderer to mark anchors on a page, submitted by Manuel Holtgrewe (e.g., &quot;[[# anchorName nice anchor text]]&quot; to mark anchor, &quot;#anchorName&quot; to link to it)
    
    * Updated &quot;URL&quot; parser and Xhtml renderer to recognize on-page anchors
