Description of problem: mailx is not encoding long multibyte subjects properly. Specifically it contradicts the following RFC 2047 statement: Each 'encoded-word' MUST represent an integral number of characters. A multi-octet character may not be split across adjacent 'encoded-word's. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailx-12.5-19.fc24 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ echo test | mailx -s $(printf "\357\274\221\357\274\222\357\274\223\357\274\224\357\274\225\357\274\226\357\274\227\357\274\230\357\274\231\357\274\220\357\274\221\357\274\222\357\274\223") testuser@localhost 2. $ mailx -u testuser Actual results: >N 1 testuser Fri Sep 22 13:07 21/693 "１２３４５６７８９０１???３" Expected results: >N 1 testuser Fri Sep 22 13:07 21/693 "１２３４５６７８９０１２３"

This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
