problem in the Subject field when sending an email using Arabic Language
Greetings,
I have gmail-3.0.1 set and working on my website , but I am facing a language problem in the Subject field when sending an email
containing Arabic language,the problem that I will describe below happens only in the Subject field and only when sending an
email ,I have no problem when receiving emails:
problem details:
When an email is sent containing two words in the subject field, the person who receive the message reads the two word as if it
was one word, having all the characters squeezed in together, I tried putting two spaces between the two words but the problem
remains.
Please help solve this issue?

thank you very much in advance,

Here's a patch to GT::Mail::Parts that should fix your problem.

Code:
diff -u -r1.81 Parts.pm
--- Parts.pm 21 Oct 2005 03:22:09 -0000 1.81
+++ Parts.pm 20 May 2006 00:13:04 -0000
@@ -526,10 +526,12 @@
}
$ret;
- }oeg;
+ }eg;
+# Spaces between encoded words need to be encoded as well, or they won't show up
+ $words =~ s/\?=( +)=\?/"?= =?$charset?Q?" . ("=20" x length $1) . "?= =?"/eg;
return $words;
}

Do you know how to read the diff? It's around line 526, remove the lines with - in front and add the lines with + in front.

I am not sure how to do this,
here is what I have starting from line 522 and ending with line 530:

Code:

# As per rfc2047 section 2, we can not have lines more then 75 characters long
# we must seperate long encodings with a CRLF and space.
if (length $word == 18 and substr($words, pos($words) + 18, 1) =~ /\S/) {
$ret .= $CRLF . " ";
}
$ret;
}oeg;
return $words;
}

please modify the code,

Thanks,

Change it to:
Code:
# As per rfc2047 section 2, we can not have lines more then 75 characters long
# we must seperate long encodings with a CRLF and space.
if (length $word == 18 and substr($words, pos($words) + 18, 1) =~ /\S/) {
$ret .= $CRLF . " ";
}
$ret;
}eg;
# Spaces between encoded words need to be encoded as well, or they won't show up
$words =~ s/\?=( +)=\?/"?= =?$charset?Q?" . ("=20" x length $1) . "?= =?"/eg;
return $words;
