Issues with display of binary data in mails

[sebbASF]

One of the mails sent to the devnull@infra list erroneously includes some binary data. This has caused some display issues.

The message thread [1] shows the full mail, without any extraneous characters. However the source email is truncated at the start of the binary data [2]

Whilst the input mail should not have the binary data in it, it would be useful if the displayed data were consistent.

It looks like the binary characters are dropped by Javascript.

Whereas LUA puts() seems to stop printing a string when it encounters a nul.

switching to r:write would fix that for source.lua

[sebbASF]

And presumably anywhere else where r:puts might be used on binary data, e.g. mbox.lua

Has this issue been addressed sufficiently? :)
