Hi, I got some mails with multilines (or loong lines, dunno) which
are splitted in a strange way).
I get something like that:
Sujet : Re: [linux-lvm] PVs not found (kernel 2.4<->devfs?) [was:
lvm lost
after reboot!?]
For local (non-IMAP) mailboxes, Balsa gets the subject from GMime, and
displays it in a GtkTextView. Apparently, GMime doesn't unfold
headers, so a long and folded subject still has its newline(s), and the
following white space that makes it a continuation of the original
header (in your example, after "lvm lost"). But its first line still
may be long enough to be wrapped in the text-view (in your example,
after "[was:".
I believe a case can be made for displaying the subject the way GMime
hands it over: the sender may have specifically formatted it that way.
On the other hand, perhaps it's more likely that the sender's MUA
folded a long line and added the white space, in which case unfolding
it, removing the white space, and allowing the text-view to wrap the
result is closer to what the sender intended.
Opinions?
