(This is a clarified bug report submitted by Sean Dague to
dev list)

There actually two problems:

  • Unfolding is incorrectly done by removing the first

whitespace character from the line that is unfolded
back. This is an ugly (incomplete) hack to facilitate
non-ascii decoding. Normally, this hack does not
affect other mail parsing tasks, except when it cause
the next problem to occur,

  • Extracting the boundary delimiter from the content-type

field did not work properly if the boundary was not
quoted and no space existed after the ';' and the next
attribute. Example: boundary=XXX;protocal=...
This condition occurred once in awhile when the
content-type field was folded and the unfolding caused
the whitespace between two tokens to be dropped.
