Avoid wrapped text in messages from Mail to Outlook
My understanding is that the relevant part of RFC 3676 is actually paragraph 4.3, in which it is written:
[Quoted-Printable] encoding SHOULD NOT be used with Format=Flowed unless absolutely necessary (for example, non-US-ASCII (8-bit) characters over a strictly 7-bit transport such as unextended [SMTP]). In particular, a message SHOULD NOT be encoded in Quoted-Printable for the sole purpose of protecting the trailing space on flowed lines unless the body part is cryptographically signed or encrypted.Apparently Mail.app does send 8-bit characters over a 7-bit transport, so technically its behavior is correct. Not that that's any confort to those who are on the receiving end of broken URLs (not Mail.app users, natch). I remember first hearing about this behavior over three years ago, so my bet is that you won't see it change in Mail.app, but will eventually see other email clients improve their handling of email sent from clients observing this requirement of RFC 3676. 2 cents. |
