Package: heirloom-mailx
Version: 12.4-1.1+b1
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
When piping text into heirloom-mailx, it fails to specify the charset used with
the From: line if the name inherited from /etc/passwd is in UTF-8.
cat file | mail -s "some subject" ***@domain.ltd
q-funk:x:1000:1000:Martin-Éric Racine,,,:/home/q-funk:/bin/bash
Setting "set sendcharsets=utf-8" only seems to affect the MIME declaration that
appears in the message headers:
User-Agent: Heirloom mailx 12.4 7/29/08
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
However, it does not solve the above issue:
Message-Id: <***@iki.fi>
From: Martin-?ric Racine <q-***@iki.fi>
Yet, we see that:
$ file /etc/passwd
/etc/passwd: UTF-8 Unicode text
Is there something I'm missing?
