The mail server is the same in Mail and Thunderbird. As another data
point, I sniffed the IMAP traffic between Mail and the server, and I
also confirm that the content header is on a single line at the point it
comes from IMAP into Mail.app.
(btw, all these tests are made with Mail 4.4 build 1082.)
However you were on the right track. I think I found where the issue
lies. Here is the path through the experiment:
I tried with another Mac running 10.6.6 and the same Mail build. I
configured the same mail server, once over SSL and once over plain IMAP.
In both cases, the content header is wrapped.
Then I created a blank OS X user account on that other Mac with a virgin
Mail install (as you suggested) and there the content header is still
wrapped.
Then I checked your idea to use a different mail server. I redirected
the message to a different e-mail account and I downloaded it using that
different account's server on the 2nd Mac. Surprise! Then the header is
*not* wrapped. Then I install GPGMail and the signature does validate
properly.
So I got back to the 1st Mac with GPGMail and I connect to this 2nd
e-mail server. Alas, then the header is wrapped again!
To summarize:
Mac 1 Mac 2
Server 1 broken broken
Server 2 broken OK
Now, I tried to make another blank OS X user account, and I tried again.
And then it was, the header was not wrapped in either server 1 nor
server 2!
That got me thinking and I browsed through the differences between my
first test account above and this new one. They were both identical,
except for *one* option: "do not keep copies of the messages nor
attachments" in Mail's account preferences.
I checked all my previous experiments and I can confirm this: in all my
situations the content header is wrapped if and only if caching is
disabled.
Now what to do with that? I certainly don't want to enable caching of my
main inbox on any computer.
Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.
