Comment	> One of my users is receiving mail from an IMP 3.2.6 system that our > regular mailer (Pegasus Mail via IMAP) cannot open. > > The reason for this is that the To: line in the header is one long > line of 4816 characters (as sent by IMP). (I can send a screenshot > of this displayed in my own IMP installation, which displays it ok) > > > > This is clearly in contravention of RFC 2822 that specifies line > lengths and how they should be split. > > I'm surprised the thing even gets delivered, but it seems exim is > somewhat flexible about line lengths, whereas the Pegasus mail reader > is not and is not required to be, in terms of the RFC. > > > > I've searched the archives and this has been mentioned before (Nov 2004). > > I realize that V3.2.6 is now getting old, but the real issue to me is > that new versions must fix this bug, not specifically 3.2.6 (though > I have 3.2.6 installed so it does concern me in that I want to be > sure that any upgrade I do actually fixes this issue). Since the > source of our problem email is a remote site not under my control, > there is little I can do about it except email the postmaster, which > I have already done with no result so far. > > > > If you can assure me that IMP V4 has fixed this issue, I will be happy. > > > > THankyou > >
