^M in header fields #1

Closed seebi closed 8 years ago

seebi commented 11 years ago

after fetching the ars technica example, I got messages with these newline characters at the end:

Date: Donnerstag, 27 Juni, 2013, 07:30:43 CEST^M
...
Subject: Patent troll that sues public transit systems gets hauled into court^M

can this be stripped somehow?

Is this the mail as parsed by your MUA or the raw file ?

^M is the CR character, which is part of the field separator for mails. Editors like vim will often show it but the MUA are the one responsible of dealing with it.

the ^M is shown by the internal view of my MUA (mutt) here is a screenshot bildschirmfoto 2013-08-27 um 14 19 56
