`◆?` charcter appears in the subject when it has multiple MIME lines
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug
Graphical character (◆
+ ?
) appears in the subject of some mails written in Japanese language.
To Reproduce
Post a mail with subject like:
Subject: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCRnxLXDhsJEhGfEtcOGwkSEZ8S1w4bCROJUElJyVDGyhC?=
=?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCJS8bKEI=?=
Current K-9 shows 日本語と日本語と日本語のチェッ◆ク
on both tray list mode and mail content mode.
Expected behavior Though the example subject has a newline, this should be parsed as one-line ‘日本語と日本語と日本語のチェック’ by MIME decoding rule for subject. It looks current K-9 simply trys to show (unexpected) newline char.
Screenshots Tray mode
Content mode has same problem also
Environment (please complete the following information):
- K-9 Mail version: 5.904
- Android version: 12
- Device: Google Pixel 6
- Account type: IMAP
Additional context It seems same as #3622. I’m not sure what was done by ‘Fixed in master’. (Because I hadn’t used K-9 mail since 2019, I didn’t know it was fixed at that time.)

Thunderbird ran into the same problem: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1374149
I’m adopting their fix for K-9 Mail.
