#63 Dot character is lost in body.

[Bobozo]

When email body is encoded in quoted-printable format,
if a dot character (".") exists in email html body, where
quoted-printable formatter inserts a new line character
(ex: around 76th character of email body), the dot
character is deleted.

How to reproduce :

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage
("test@nowhere.com","test@nowhere.com");
msg.Body="123456789 123456789 123456789
123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 here.dot";
Smtp smtp = new Smtp("127.0.0.1",25);
smtp.SendMail(msg);

The body of the received email :

123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789
123456789 123456789 123456789 heredot

(NOT "here.dot" !!!)

I came across the same problem. Here is the solution:

In src/MailEncoder.cs:

Change around line 237:
---
if (breakAt<70) breakAt = 74;
sb.Append(cLine.Substring(0, breakAt) + "=\r\n");
currLine = new StringBuilder(cLine.Substring(breakAt));
---

TO

---
if (breakAt<70) breakAt = 74;
sb.Append(cLine.Substring(0, breakAt) + "=\r\n");
if (cLine.Substring(breakAt).StartsWith("."))
{
currLine = new StringBuilder("=2E");
currLine.Append(cLine.Substring(breakAt + 1));
}
else
{
currLine = new StringBuilder(cLine.Substring(breakAt));
}

That should take care of that bug.

Cheers,
Tobi

I too have come across this. I add the following at two
places, the first, just before comment // RFC 822 linebreak =
CRLF about line 243 of MailEncoder.cs and the 2nd just
below at the next comment // add last line

// RFC 821 4.5.2 Transparancy... line starts with . make ..
if (currLine.ToString().StartsWith("."))
sb.Append(".");

Yes, we have found the same problem. When including an href
link with an ip address in an html e-mail, one of the
periods almost always disappears.
