From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: I noticed that some footers appended by Mailman break the encoding of quoted-printable messages. The footer presently being appended to messages going through SF mailing lists contains the following link: http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=7637&alloc_id=16865&op=click If the message is encoded as quoted-printable, then the '=' in the URL should be interpreted by the mail client as starting an encoded octet (according to RFC 2045 6.7(1)). While '=76' and '=16' are valid (though unintended) encoded octets, '=cl' is not because 'l' is not a hex digit, and hence the message doesn't have a valid encoding. This causes problems for mail clients which don't know how to handle improper quoted-printable encoding. Aparently this has been fixed in Mailman 2.1.6, which I see is going to be in FC5. In any case, I thought it would be good to report this since many people will be using FC4 for a while to come. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailman-2.1.5-35.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put an '=' in a mailman footer, followed by something in [^0-9A-Fa-f]. 2. Send a quoted-printable encoded message to the list. 3. Notice that the footer isn't properly encoded when the message comes back. Actual Results: Returned message was improperly encoded. Expected Results: Returned message should be properly encoded.

I have 2.1.8 installed and it works properly. Thanks.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
I *did* reply (in comment #2) that problem is fixed in the version referenced in comment #1. I didn't realize that it was for me to close the bug, though, sorry.
