Only to mention that POSIX mailx by default "skin"s addresses, ie, it removes anything from the field except for the email address as such, and it also only generates these. |The quick fix, for SMTP UTF8 autodetection with GECOS info, can be Could also be looking for 8-bit set and not generating full name if any is found (thus). (Ie, in UTF-8 locale...) My personal feeling, i am sure all of you linger to hear it (oh-oh) always has been that all that UTF-8 email stuff (RFC 6530, 6531, 6532) is a terrible thing. I still remember that Microsoft guy giving a fluent and eloquent talk on that UTF-8 email, and how nice an IMF 5322 message looks if all UTF-8, ie, no RFC 2047 or 2231, and what not. It was a plain text message with Date and Subject. (This may take a while for non-nerds.) I do not really get it that is, you have a database format here, a transfer format there, with decade old established and standardized syntax, and why that really has to become changed en large (and mind you *how* heavy the dependency on ICU is, .. for *that*), for all those NSA/BND/FSB/.. people who watch it flew by over wireshark or something like that. That is: i know people (heard them say) they do re-encode message when they store that in their local archive, i know the nmh mailer people are really keen on that, but 99 percent of all people look at the stuff in a graphical mailer .. so isn't that a grotesque? ... -- End forward <20241202204300.MYV3Kr-t@steffen%sdaoden.eu> --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt) | |And in Fall, feel "The Dropbear Bard"s ball(s). | |The banded bear |without a care, |Banged on himself for e'er and e'er | |Farewell, dear collar bear _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
