Comment 13 for bug 17698

Yay. It's fixed. I'll leave the rant about the 14 months fix to a *crashing* mail program for another episode, but suffice to say that this one seems fixed in Dapper.

In short: AFAIK it's fixed, you may close the bug.

The long version is that only the crashing part is fixed, but the decoding of the test case (see above) does not work yet: it shows up silly now.

For a test:
sudo apt-get install uudeview
uudeview testcase.rfc822
(see testcase above). You will find a multipart MIME base64 encoded message with four sub-attachments inside, all of them being called "forward", with new base64 attachments inside.

Importing the message in Evolution (file-import) will show a single file called "forward" and a large text file that is not decoded. However, this behaviour is sort-of consistent with Mozilla Thunderbird, so although it is a non-expected behaviour, I will not file another bug report, but feel free to do so (or rename and re-priorize this one). (And if you do so, please note that the testcase and "openwave webengine" (which produced the e-mail) is probably at fault firstly).

So finally, long story short: this bug can be closed - although the test case could be the basis for another bug (which I won't file).
