Christian Seiler: Protokollsoezifikation für text/html

Hallo Christian,

Ich denke, die email-Server reagieren da manchmal
allergisch, wenn die Zeilenlänge zu groß wird?

Nein. Denen is das schnuppe, die kennen keine
Zeilen im DATA-Segment.

Aha? Wieso steht dann in RFC 2822 folgendes?

| 2.1.1. Line Length Limits
|
|    There are two limits that this standard places on the number of
|    characters in a line. Each line of characters MUST be no more than
|    998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding
|    the CRLF.
|
|    The 998 character limit is due to limitations in many implementations
|    which send, receive, or store Internet Message Format messages that
|    simply cannot handle more than 998 characters on a line.

Das ist - denke ich - ziemlich eindeutig.

Es wird zwar gesagt:

|    Receiving
|    implementations would do well to handle an arbitrarily large number
|    of characters in a line for robustness sake.

Allerdings wird das ganze auch gleich wieder eingeschränkt.

|    However, there are so
|    many implementations which (in compliance with the transport
|    requirements of [RFC2821]) do not accept messages containing more
|    than 1000 character including the CR and LF per line, it is important
|    for implementations not to create such messages.

Viele Grüße,
Christian
