2180.0. "Umlaut, = & MIME combination" by BACHUS::CLEVELAND (L'Escargot) Wed May 07 1997 11:27

    
    I have a customer reporting a problem with the MIME decode when using
    umlauts and equals signs.
    
    For example create a text message as follows:
    
    � = AE
    
    Send it via internet and mime encoded.
    
    When decoded the '=' has been replaced by a space.
    
    I have tried this on V2.7-001 and V2.7-002 with the same result.
    
    Using RTF appears to work OK. I have tried it on both Win95 and NT.
    
    Anybody know anything about it or is it IPMT time?
    
    Regards,

2180.1MIME encode bug, equals signs encoded as spacesTAMARA::qwert.zko.dec.com::McClungJohn McClung, 381-2774Wed May 07 1997 16:5213
Yuk. This is a bug with the TeamLinks MIME encoder.

Equals signs in text bodyparts (cover memos or attachments) which contain at 
least one 8 bit character (the umlaut char in your case) are incorrectly 
quoted-printable encoded as spaces.

This will be fixed in TeamLinks 3.0. Please submit an IPMT to get it fixed 
sooner (like in 2.7 ECO3).

Thanks for reporting this.
