Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 67999

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

The latest bug confirmation mail that i received from Bugzilla contained an
8-bit character in the headers and triggered my pedantic Courier to wrap it.
These are the full headers:

=====
Received: from mothra.mozilla.org (mothra.mozilla.org [207.200.81.216])
  by frog.provocation.net with esmtp; Wed, 06 Nov 2002 01:30:57 +0100

Subject: [Bug 178551] New: Attempting to change mail account preferences hangs
Mozilla
X-Bugzilla-Reason: Reporter
=====

This is the problem as described by Courier:

=====
The mail headers in the following message contain 8-bit text, which is
prohibited by RFC 2047.
See <URL:ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2047.txt> for more information. 
=====

The 8-bit character is in the fourth line between "with" and "id". 

I have previously received mail from Bugzilla without this problem, so the error
is not consistent.

Comment 4

[J. Paul Reed [:preed]]

Reporter: Do NOT change the product/component back.

The fact that it happened again does not mean that the product has changed.

Comment 5

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Correcting component, verifying dupe

Comment 6

[Zenon Panoussis]

Huh? I did not change the component. Is this yet another bug? 
<scratching head>
Sort of. My second filing was a mid-air collission. The component was pre-filled
in my browser before you changed it, so it got changed back. This is undesirable
behaviour, but I don't see how it could be avoided.
