Hello,
Are you having a problem seeing all of the lines in some of your email from Facebook?
According to Markus Stumpf on the qmail mailing list:
Facebook is sending their mails as
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Despite the fact that RFC2045 clearly states:
(Soft Line Breaks) The Quoted-Printable encoding REQUIRES that
encoded lines be no more than 76 characters long. If longer
lines are to be encoded with the Quoted-Printable encoding,
"soft" line breaks must be used. An equal sign as the last
character on a encoded line indicates such a non-significant
("soft") line break in the encoded text.
They are sending lines with some 100 chars wide.
This leads to some (correct) mail clients truncating lines and displaying garbled messages/text.
Also - as spammers make the same mistake rather often - I've seen line
length checks for Quoted-Printable implemented in antispam software.
I have notified Facebook, but don't expect something to happen. This was the answer:
