I told you about the problems in german newsgroups and about the problem with the email-adresses. This is solved now.
But now I?m struggling with something different.
I noticed that postings which have been send via the gateway don?t have proper headers and - you guessed it - on german newsservers this is like a spike in the flesh and it?s raining flames.
Okay - that?s the prolog..now facts:
mime.php should encode the outgoing posts in line 132 - 177 :
Quote:
/*!
-- MIME Encoding --
send() - create the mime message and send it to the listed recipients.
*/
function send() {
srand((double) microtime()*1000000);
$rnum = rand();
$boundary = "=_".md5($rnum);
$message = "This message is in MIME format.\n\n";
foreach($this->attachments AS $attachment) {
$message.= "--".$boundary."\n";
$message.= "Content-Type: ".$attachment["content-type"];
if ($attachment["content-type"] == "text/plain") {
$message.= "; charset=ISO-8859-1\n";
$message.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: Quoted-Printable\n\n";
$message.= $this->quoted_printable_encode($attachment["contents"])."\n";
} else {
$message.= "; name=\"".$attachment["filename"].
"\"\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$message.= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".
$attachment["filename"]."\"\n\n";
$message.= chunk_split(base64_encode($attachment["contents"]))."\n";
}
}
$message.= "--".$boundary."--\n";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers.= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;".chr(10).chr(9).
"boundary=\"$boundary\"";
if (is_array($this->headers)) {
foreach($this->headers AS $header) {
$headers.= "\n$header";
}
}
foreach($this->recipients AS $email) {
mail($email, $this->subject, $message, $headers);
}
}

So far mime.php should encode the headers with:
Quote:
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed
|
The body should be encoded with MIME, too :
Quote:
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: Quoted-Printable
|
But as As far as I can see mime.php isn?t doing what it should. It doesn?t encode the headers of outgoing posts and it doesn?t encode the body nor it adds the lines
Quote:
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: ...
Content-Transfer-Encoding: ..
|
to the headers.
In other words: it seems that it?s doing nothing at all.
Could someone please have a look what?s happening there ? It?s now the third night and actual 3.04 AM and I?m about to go crazy about this thing...

aranoid:
Note:
In my files I changed the values to
Quote:
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
|
because that?s the german nationwide standard.
