382790 - url not correctly parsed from PEGASUS client

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 5351

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[riccardo carlesso]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; it; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: version 1.5.0.12 (20070509)

When a Pegasus email client sends a text url, it wraps lines in 78-chars chunks.
They are correctly rebuilt by pegasus itself AND by some webmails, like gmail.
Instead, my thunderbird client doesnt seem to understand that line wrap: it parses the first 80bytes of the URL until the first "\n" and when I click onto it, the browser opens the partial URL, ehich is not correct.
I'm not sure that PEGASUS behaviour is RFC-compliant. If it is, i think you should do something; if its not, I think you should change your code, but I encourage you to tell pegasus mantainer...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. take a Pegasus email client and send a text email with a long url like: 
http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=q90xv34sy8hm&style=o&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-%201000&scene=1145528&encType=1


2. receive it with thunderbird
3. click on the url.
Actual Results:  
it goes onto the trunked url

Expected Results:  
follow the full url

Im sorry to bother you, this is a battle between thunderbird and pegasus.
I would like to understand who is right.
Can you please keep me informed if you correct the bug? or if you can prove me theer's no bug, can you tell me? please.

Thank you.

Can you attach such a mail (as received by thunderbird)? Save as .eml.

This should be bug 5351, without format=flowed.
