Package: uudeview Version: 0.5.20-3.2 Severity: normal Hi,
I noticed inconsistent behaviour of uuenview -- sometime it works and sometime it doesn't. I've hunted it down so that the error can be reproduced with a simple command. First, here is it's normal behaviour: echo abc > abc $ echo short sentence | uuenview -b -a abc Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="==UUD_=_1282748652" --==UUD_=_1282748652 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit short sentence --==UUD_=_1282748652 Content-Type: Application/Octet-Stream Content-Transfer-Encoding: Base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="abc" YWJjCg== --==UUD_=_1282748652-- I.e., plain text and attachment are in separate mine content types. here is it's abnormal behaviour: $ echo '/dev/sda1: 1601M HPFS/NTFS' | uuenview -b -a abc /dev/sda1: 1601M HPFS/NTFS Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="==UUD_=_1282748672" --==UUD_=_1282748672 Content-Type: Application/Octet-Stream Content-Transfer-Encoding: Base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="abc" YWJjCg== --==UUD_=_1282748672-- I.e., plain text does not have separate mine content type any more. In fact, it is in the mail header now, which was the reason that I can't see the plain text in my normal mail clients. This might be a bug that should be fixed. Meanwhile, I've also found a simple solution: $ echo -e '\n/dev/sda1: 1601M HPFS/NTFS' | uuenview -b -a abc Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="==UUD_=_1282748678" --==UUD_=_1282748678 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit /dev/sda1: 1601M HPFS/NTFS --==UUD_=_1282748678 Content-Type: Application/Octet-Stream Content-Transfer-Encoding: Base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="abc" YWJjCg== --==UUD_=_1282748678-- Please investigate.
