mbox messages get header corruption caused by an extra linefeed after
Content-Length
Fixed: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/e043135e971d
Works, thank you.
Now I have to fix users mbox files.
As the extra linefeed is between Content-Length and Subject headers,
I'm thinking about using a regexp based replace such as
s/(Content-Length: [0-9]+)\n\n(Subject: )/$1\n$2/s
but I can't find how to make multiple lines matching work.
Any suggestion?
Perl maybe? Something like (not tested):
perl -pe 'BEGIN { $/ = ""; } s/^(Content-Length: [0-9]+)\n\n(Subject: )/$1\n$2/g' < mbox > mbox2
$/ changes the line separator.
