NT V8.59 HTML Email not working.
« on: August 11, 2015, 10:23:34 AM »
Hi Bruce,

The email procedure in my Net Talk web application now fails when sending an HTML email message. The same procedure work flawlessly in NT version 8.42.  The error message is "The remote Email (SMTP) server sent error = 451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html. State = 77. " which is the "Bare LFs in SMTP "  error. 

I believe the routines used to create "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable" message have been messed up during recent refactoring.

The raw HTML part of the email message from NT version 8.42 looked like:
Code: [Select]
----=_NextPart_001_d20150811t114100.62c1r871138
Content-Type: text/html;
charset=windows-1252
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

The raw message from NT Version 8.59 now looks like this:
Code: [Select]
----=_NextPart_001_d20150811t104133.32c1r308780
Content-Type: text/html;
 charset=windows-1252

... etc.

I think that line feeds are being pushed to the single character stream of the message which is causing the "Bare LFs in SMTP "  error. Please fix the "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable" HTML message.

You can duplicate the message and error by compiling the "SEND" email example and entering the following into the "My HTML" field:
<p> HTML Message 1</p>
<p> HTML Message 2</p>
<p> HTML Message 3</p>
<p> HTML Message 4</p>
<p> HTML Message 5</p>

Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob,

sorry for the delay - I lost my C Drive yesterday.
the bug was in StringTheory - I've uploaded a new build, 2.35, to take care of it.
Thanks for the report.

cheers
Bruce
