New submission from Jan Malakhovski <jan.malachow...@gmail.com>:
Hello.
I have dedicated mail server at home
and it holds about 1G of mail.
Most of mail is in non UTF-8 codepage, so today
I wrote little script that should recode
all letters to UTF. But I found that
email.header.decode_header parses some headers wrong.
For example, header
Content-Type: application/x-msword; name="2008
=?windows-1251?B?wu7v8O7x+w==?= 2 =?windows-1251?B?4+7kIDgwONUwMC5kb2M=?="
parsed as
[('application/x-msword; name="2008', None),
('\xc2\xee\xef\xf0\xee\xf1\xfb', 'windows-1251'), ('2
=?windows-1251?B?4+7kIDgwONUwMC5kb2M=?="', None)]
that is obviously wrong.
Now I'm playing with email/header.py file in
python 2.5 debian package
(but it's same in 2.6.1 version except that all <> changed to !=).
If it's patched with

it works fine.
So I wonder if this
(?=[ \t]|$) # whitespace or the end of the string
really needed, after all if there is only
whitespaces after encoded word, its just
appended to the list by
parts = ecre.split(line)
