I spoke to soon, there is a small bug in this patch. I'll fix it and send the updated patch.

Hello,

I received an email today with 232 emails listed in the To: header. Most of them had accents in the names so there was about 200 encoding emails in the To: header. The method responsable for this is decode_mime_string() and is recursive. My server stops recursion at the 150th level. So the email caused PHP to crash and a blank page to be shown.

I wrote the following patch against revision 1732 which will resolve the issue. I changed the recursion for iteration :

  return $out;
  }
  
  

Please include this into trunk of round cube. Additionally, it would be nice if you patched this to the stable version. To patch this to the stable version, you'll want to change rcube_imap.php to rcube_imap.inc before patching. Using patch that comes with gentoo, it patched fine with fuzz.

I tested this patch on trunk and on the stable release 0.1.1. I have noticed that PHP is slow on calling methods statically, so the iteration will be a bit faster than the recursion. :D

Please let me know,

David
