It can also be +used for RFC 822 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822> 'text' token. However, +it cannot be used directly for the whole header with the field name or for the +structured header fields like From, To, Cc, Message-Id, etc... There are 3 +encoding names supported by this module: \f(CW\*(C`MIME\-Header\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`MIME\-B\*(C'\fR and +\&\f(CW\*(C`MIME\-Q\*(C'\fR. +.SH DESCRIPTION +.IX Header "DESCRIPTION" +Decode method takes an unstructured field body of the email header (or +RFC 822 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822> 'text' token) as its input and +decodes each MIME encoded-word from input string to a sequence of bytes +according to RFC 2047 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047> and +RFC 2231 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2231>. Subsequently, each sequence +of bytes with the corresponding MIME charset is decoded with +the Encode module and finally, one output string is returned. Text +parts of the input string which do not contain MIME encoded-word stay +unmodified in the output string. Folded newlines between two consecutive MIME +encoded-words are discarded, others are preserved in the output string. +\&\f(CW\*(C`MIME\-B\*(C'\fR can decode Base64 variant, \f(CW\*(C`MIME\-Q\*(C'\fR can decode Quoted-Printable +variant and \f(CW\*(C`MIME\-Header\*(C'\fR can decode both of them. If Encode module +does not support particular MIME charset or chosen variant then an action based +on CHECK flags is performed (by default, the +MIME encoded-word is not decoded). +.PP +Encode method takes a scalar string as its input and uses +strict UTF\-8 encoder for encoding it to UTF\-8 +bytes. Then a sequence of UTF\-8 bytes is encoded into MIME encoded-words +(\f(CW\*(C`MIME\-Header\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`MIME\-B\*(C'\fR use a Base64 variant while \f(CW\*(C`MIME\-Q\*(C'\fR uses a +Quoted-Printable variant) where each MIME encoded-word is limited to 75 +characters. MIME encoded-words are separated by \f(CW\*(C`CRLF SPACE\*(C'\fR and joined to +one output string. Output string is suitable for unstructured field body of +the email header. +.PP +Both encode and decode methods propagate +CHECK flags when encoding and decoding the +MIME charset. +.SH BUGS +.IX Header "BUGS" +Versions prior to 2.22 (part of Encode 2.83) have a malfunctioning decoder +and encoder. The MIME encoder infamously inserted additional spaces or +discarded white spaces between consecutive MIME encoded-words, which led to +invalid MIME headers produced by this module. The MIME decoder had a tendency +to discard white spaces, incorrectly interpret data or attempt to decode Base64 +MIME encoded-words as Quoted-Printable. These problems were fixed in version +2.22. It is highly recommended not to use any version prior 2.22! +.PP +Versions prior to 2.24 (part of Encode 2.87) ignored +CHECK flags. The MIME encoder used +not strict utf8 encoder for input Unicode +strings which could lead to invalid UTF\-8 sequences. MIME decoder used also +not strict utf8 decoder and additionally +called the decode method with a \f(CW\*(C`Encode::FB_PERLQQ\*(C'\fR flag (thus user-specified +CHECK flags were ignored). Moreover, it +automatically croaked when a MIME encoded-word contained unknown encoding. +Since version 2.24, this module uses +strict UTF\-8 encoder and decoder. And +CHECK flags are correctly propagated. +.PP +Since version 2.22 (part of Encode 2.83), the MIME encoder should be fully +compliant to RFC 2047 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047> and +RFC 2231 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2231>. Due to the aforementioned +bugs in previous versions of the MIME encoder, there is a \fIless strict\fR +compatible mode for the MIME decoder which is used by default. It should be +able to decode MIME encoded-words encoded by pre 2.22 versions of this module. +However, note that this is not correct according to +RFC 2047 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047>. +.PP +In default \fInot strict\fR mode the MIME decoder attempts to decode every substring +which looks like a MIME encoded-word. Therefore, the MIME encoded-words do not +need to be separated by white space. To enforce a correct \fIstrict\fR mode, set +variable \f(CW$Encode::MIME::Header::STRICT_DECODE\fR to 1 e.g. by localizing: +.PP +.Vb 2 +\& use Encode::MIME::Header; +\& local $Encode::MIME::Header::STRICT_DECODE = 1; +.Ve +.SH AUTHORS +.IX Header "AUTHORS" +Pali <pali@cpan.org> +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +Encode, +RFC 822 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822>, +RFC 2047 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047>, +RFC 2231 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2231> |
