  Re: quoted-printable support
 
(...) O-Ya, I agree in theory. But it becomes my problem, too, when someone running a dumb client quotes the un-decoded content in a reply, and people suffer from broken links and weird looking text. And if someone posts a qp reply to that, then the (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) Oops, sorry about that. 2,187. Forgot to fill that in when the script completed. --Todd (22 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) [...] The additional step of wrapping (...) I was only speaking of the web interface. That's why I didn't cc admin.nntp on my original posting... Any newsreader that can't handle quoted-printable is obsolete and it's the user's problem. (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) Does this also prevent breaking of URLs? Frank (22 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: quoted-printable support
 
I have installed a filter so that incoming articles with the header: Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable are converted to 8bit encoding. The header is replaced with: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) check out Text::Autoformat - it does the right thing. Dan (22 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.admin.nntp)

Unfortunately, Text::Wrap doesn't handle mail- and news-style quotations, and would happily convert: > >> >really especially long line of quoted text to (bad): > >> >really especially long line of quoted text instead of to (good): > >> >really (...)

  Re: quoted-printable support
 
(...) Yes, I've seen that too. You could always use Text::Wrap to reformat anything over 80 characters... (...) The biggest problem is the =3D in Brickshelf URL's. Even a special case to change =3D to = would be a huge help. (...) I assumed you (...) (22 years ago, 20-May-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: quoted-printable support
 
(...) On the well-behaved e-mail clients, yes. On the worse clients, they jam a whole paragraph into a single line. I saw one which resulted in a line 890 characters long.(!) (...) I agree -- a hideously long line is better than one that's full of (...) (22 years ago, 20-May-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: quoted-printable support
 
(...) Yes, that's what I meant. (...) It's usually at a line break, though, isn't it? And even so it is better than what is currently displayed; further refinements could be made to make it better yet... Or just let the browser do the word wrapping (...)

  Re: quoted-printable support
 
(...) Adding a second newline? You mean $body =~ s/=\n/\n/g or $body =~ s/=$//m ? Any of those would break words in half. (The = at the end isn't guaranteed to occur at a line break.) --Todd (22 years ago, 18-May-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: quoted-printable support
 
(...) I think s/=$/\n/ would be adequate for that case. You could always improve it later. --Bill. (22 years ago, 18-May-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: quoted-printable support
 
(...) Heh heh, funny you should mention that... Last night I was just thinking about this again and am 98% ready to deploy a fix. I've really noticed the increase in these posts lately too (especially coming in through the News-by-Mail gateways). A (...)

  Re: Renaming Gaming group
 
(...) Shweet! :) What I think is totally cool, and Todd hasn't even mentioned, is that member web pages got automagically updated too! Brick Battles is still under the .gaming hierarchy, even though that hierarchy has moved. Thanks for saving me (...) (22 years ago, 13-May-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.gaming)
 
  Re: A Change
 
(...) Awwww, but it'd be extreamly difficult for Todd to acknowledge every post sent in his direction! I understand exactly what you're asking Bill, but to hope/expect that Todd will comply and answer is a bit much to ask IMHO! :) --==Richard==-- (22 years ago, 12-May-03, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.people, lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.curators)

If you are a paid member, you can post all you like using the web interface without email authentication. Only NNTP/email users require the email authentication if they are paid members. --Bill.
