Package: signing-party
Version: 1.1.3-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/caff
Hello,
it was brought to my attention that the mails I send using caff don't
encode my name in the From: header. I'm using an utf-8 locale and
$CONFIG{'owner'} = q{Uwe Kleine-König.de};
This breaks because of:
$ perl -e 'use Encode; print Encode::encode("MIME-Q", q{Uwe
Kleine-König}) . "\n";'
=?UTF-8?Q?Uwe=20Kleine=2DK=C3=83=C2=B6nig?=
The right string to use would be
=?UTF-8?Q?Uwe=20Kleine=2DK=C3=B6nig?=
\xc3\x83\xc2\xb6 is the result from encoding the latin1 string
"\xc3\xb6" (which interpreted as utf-8 is "ö") to utf-8.
When changing to
$CONFIG{'owner'} = "Uwe Kleine-K\x{f6}nig.de";
the From: header is correct (i.e.:
$ perl -e 'use Encode; print Encode::encode("MIME-Q", "Uwe
Kleine-K\x{f6}nig") . "\n";'
=?UTF-8?Q?Uwe=20Kleine=2DK=C3=B6nig?=
But then the name in the Mail is misencoded:
$ perl -e 'use Text::Template; $msg = Text::Template->new(TYPE =>
"STRING", SOURCE => "lala {\$owner}\n"); print $msg->fill_in(HASH => { owner =>
"Uwe Kleine-K\x{f6}nig", });'
lala Uwe Kleine-K�nig
Adding "use utf8" and sticking to $CONFIG{'owner'} = q{Uwe
Kleine-König.de} would solve both problems, but I guess that's not an
option as it would be an incompatible change.
For a better solution my perl foo isn't good enough.
Best regards
Uwe
