           Summary: attaching files with long lines causes message loss
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.6
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel@kde.org
        ReportedBy: tk@CeBiTec.Uni-Bielefeld.DE


Version:           1.6 (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) 
OS:          Solaris

I've tried to attach a text file (HTML to be precise) with very long lines to a \
recipient with a mailbox on a cyrus 2.1.x IMAP server which imposes a line length \
limit of ~8k (which is way beyond the 998 chars required by RFC2822, section 2.1.1). \
The message was rejected with the (misleading) message "5.6.0 Message contains NUL \
characters (in reply to end of DATA command" but since the error mail contains a copy \
of the original message, it could not be delivered back to me (mailbox at the same \
site/system).

Apart from the postmaster, nobody was notified of the delivery failure.

My test setup:

postfix-2.0.14 delivering via LMTP to a cyrus-2.1.12 "murder".

to reproduce:

try to send a message with a text file attachment (> 8k chars/line) via KMail to a \
cyrus user.
