Webmail rarely does not parse From header #204

Closed morki closed 3 months ago

Hi @mjl-,

I am happy user of mox for some time, but today I saw something that seems like a bug.

I recieved email from my wife from her work address, and in webmail (I don't use any other client) I see no From header.

But when I open email source, I see encoded From header.

Maybe there is a bug in parsing? Maybe the new line in between is not standard?

It was sent by Exchange 365 server from Outlook in Windows.

I can privately share you the source email, it was just a request for print of some application document.

Thanks for reporting @morki! The latest commit should fix the problem. The commit message explains what was going wrong. If you would like to test this change, you can easily get a binary for it following instructions from https://www.xmox.nl/b/#5678b03324864f01668f47c6a78e2d56efe456e5.

Thank you very much for so quick fix @mjl-, I can confirm it works now like a charm.

For others maybe visiting this, you should run mox reparse command to reparse the messages for changes to take effect.

Great! And good point about running mox reparse, I'll mention it in the release notes. I'll try to get a release out in the next week, it's been quite some time.
