266443 - token.cgi error processing forgotten-password.txt.tmpl with unicode data

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Bugzilla :: User Accounts, defect)

Description

[Muhammad Alsebaeyie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: 

For the purpose of the Arabic Localiztion of Bugzilla,
I have converted all pages to UTF-8
I overcame the unicode problem (Bug 126266) by adding the
MIME-TYPE, Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers in the templates
for the email and the parameters page (as needed)
However, one function, which sends a token to the user for changing his
password, doesn't work.
This occurs when variables.none.tmpl is converted into unicode, when it gets
used in forgotten-password.txt.tmpl a '	No Recipient address found in header'
error is thrown by apache when token.cgi is processing. This Happens before
invoking sendmail and after the token is inserted into the database.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Convert variables.none.tmpl to unicode (I tried with forgotten-password.txt.tmpl
as unicode and as normal latin 1)
2.run ./checksetup.pl to compile templates
3.request a change password token

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

"No recipient address found in header" is an error generated by Sendmail, so
this by definition can't be happening prior to Sendmail getting invoked.  Are
you MIME-encoding the header lines that contain non-ASCII data?

Comment 2

[Muhammad Alsebaeyie]

I assumed that sendmail has not been invoked since I found no errors in sendmail
log. 
I removed all references to non-ASCII data from the header and the problem still
occurs. This problem only happens in one place (that I know of) which is sending
tokens. Normal bug emails contain unicode data in both the subject and the body
and they are processed ok.

This should be working much better in Bugzilla 3.0, which has much better utf-8 support.
