I suspect this bug report is spurious. There is no specific example or test provided to test the validity of the claim of the bug report. So I recommend closing the bug report as not actionable.
I just deployed reformime -r8 in a procmailrc recipe and it works. Here are the effects of running reformime -r8 on a test message in quoted-printable format (on both Bullseye and Stretch): $ cat test.msg | reformime -i section: 1 content-type: text/plain content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable charset: UTF-8 starting-pos: 0 starting-pos-body: 1778 ending-pos: 3238 line-count: 67 body-line-count: 29 $ cat test.msg | reformime -r8 | reformime -i section: 1 content-type: text/plain content-transfer-encoding: 7bit charset: utf-8 starting-pos: 0 starting-pos-body: 1867 ending-pos: 3269 line-count: 55 body-line-count: 15 Contrary to the claim in the original report, my test above clearly shows that reformime -r8 produces 7bit output and successfully converts from quoted-printable. Therefore the original report is either spurious or incomplete. If the original reporter, Andrew Buckeridge <andr...@zagam.net> would provide details for reproducing the failure (using reformime -i to show that the message really is quoted-printable and etc.), it might be worth pursuing. Otherwise we should consider the report spurious and close the bug report. -- CJ Fearnley | LinuxForce Inc. c...@linuxforce.net | Hosting and Linux Consulting https://www.LinuxForce.net | https://blog.LinuxForce.net
