The same rfc2047 decoder fixes that Jeffrey did for upstream Camel are of course ported to Tinymail‘s parsing code. So E-mail clients like Modest will also parse those broken E-mails correctly (once you update your Modest packages on your Nokia devices, of course).
Of course are Nokia’s testers testing the application with such broken E-mails. We are indeed seeing that more E-mails can be displayed correctly with Jeffrey’s new rfc2047 decoder. Usually spam succeeds more often now. Legitimate E-mails are less frequently broken. I guess spammers want to fool weak rfc2047 decoder implementations in spam detection softwares.
For the last few weeks I have been synchronizing the embedded Camel of Tinymail with Camel upstream. Other than bringing upstream’s bugfixes to Tinymail, this will of course make it more easy to port features back to Camel upstream. I must stress again that a lot of the new features are specific for mobile use cases and that a lot of them are not done in such a way that they can easily be ported. Others are simply not very interesting for a desktop E-mail client, and some are.
