UWC not displaying mail containing double-quote in Subject
807574Oct 8 2007 — edited Feb 11 2020Hello,
we've done an UWC implementation at CU's. The current issue is that UWC does not display INBOX folder if it contains a forwarded mail (not attached, I'll post it directly upon request, but it contains entire SMTP headers and body with HTML and mime-encoded binary content) containing un-paired quote character (") in the Subject: line, UWC responds with '*Error interpreting the mail server response*'. After deleting the mail (e.g. using IMAP) the folder is displayed again and works with no problem.
I've tested this on collab.demo.sun.com, luckily, the mail delivery doesn't work (otherwise collab.demo would be unusable) there but the mail is in the '+Sent+' folder of duncan. Which means, that collab.demo's Sent folder is unusable till someone deletes the mail using some other mechanisms (IMAP?) ;)
Apparently, this is a bug unless there is some hidden phrase in the RFC about quote in SMTP headers...
Please let me know whether this has been identified as a bug.
