The message quoted below sounds ridiculous, as both texts do look exacly the same. The reason apparently is that I copied the first paragraph from the original mail being in the Sent folder, where the lines were wrapped already after pos. #76 (so each line had an LF at the end).
So it wasn't a forward problem but rather copy & paste?
No. But see below.
But upon typing, everything is flowed in the editor and therefore there are no LFs at all. So here's how the first x'ed paragraph in the quoted mail below should look like when you type it (and are using the settings described further below):
You're writing about "the editor". Did you use the HTML editor or plaintext mail composition?
In my initial post of this thread, I wrote:
When I'm sending a plain text message [...]
However, I generally fail to understand and reproduce your problem. Could you describe exactly what you did step by step?
Sure. But first I'd like to suggest - no, I request - to make 'send_format_flowed' and 'line_length' user-configurable. To demonstrate the issue in this post, I had to change 'send_format_flowed' to true, which no normal user would be able to, as he hasn't access to main.inc.php.
Ok, here we go (required config settings 'send_format_flowed=false', 'line_length=76'):
Step #1 - we type this plain text:
xxxäxxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxäxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx. xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxx xx xx.xx. xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx, xxxx xx xxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxxxx xxßxx, xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxx xx xxxxxxx xxxxxx "xxx xxx xxx xxxxxxx".
Step #2 - we send the message, it will be wrapped like this:
xxxäxxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxäxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx. xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxx xx xx.xx. xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx, xxxx xx xxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxxxx xxßxx, xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxx xx xxxxxxx xxxxxx "xxx xxx xxx xxxxxxx".
Note that line #2 has exactly 76 characters! So all correct.
Step #3 - we forward the message sent in step #2 inline to somebody else. It will be loaded into the editor this way:
xxxäxxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxäxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx. xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxx xx xx.xx. xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx, xxxx xx xxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxxxx xxßxx, xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxx xx xxxxxxx xxxxxx "xxx xxx xxx xxxxxxx".
So still all correct - at least it looks so.
Step #4 - we send the forwarded message, but now it will be re-wrapped like this:
xxxäxxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxäxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx. xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxx xx xx.xx. xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx, xxxx xx xxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxxxx xxßxx, xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxx xx xxxxxxx xxxxxx "xxx xxx xxx xxxxxxx".
Look at lines #2 and #3. Now reproducable?
I believe this might be a simple counting problem: In step #2, RC is counting characters only and inserts an LF after pos. 76. In step #4, RC counts the already existing LF (which does not exist in step #2) as a character. This needs to be fixed, if my assumption should be correct. LFs shall not be counted as characters.
Reply highly appreciated.
