Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Version: 4.50-8
Severity: normal
Hi, i use Exim filters to extract $header_from and $header_subject from
emails my .forward file looks as follows:
# Exim filter
if error_message then finish endif
headers charset "UTF-8"
save Maildir/
pipe "/home/zapw/sms $header_from $header_subject"
sms is a small bash script :
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo $1 $2 > /home/zapw/testfile
-----------------------------------------
Note the ( headers charset "UTF-8" ) -
Now it works perfectly with email headers encoded in cp1255 , ISO-8859-8 ( these are Hebrew )
and even with UTF-8 , Except! for some weird reason in UTF-8 headers once the header
reaches a certain length it dosen't get translated ?! exim extracts the
headers as it is without processing/translating them, why?
