Split long subject to avoid RFC2047 violation, but only when String#scan is aware of multibyte strings.
I've hit RFC2047 violation ("An 'encoded-word' may not be more than 75 characters long") when sending a mail with a long Japanese subject. This led to a corrupted subject in some mailers, at least in Windows 10 Mail in conjunction with GMail IMAP.
I found that in history of mail
, there was a character boundary problem with splitting multibyte characters. Therefore, in this patch, it only tries to split encoded words when String#scan
seems to be able to split multibyte strings appropriately.
It doesn't check the RFC2047 constraint directly, but I think in most cases the encoded words will be within 75 bytes.
The failing tests seem unrelated to this PR. The current master also fails, at least in my local machine.
Rebased.
