From Header sanitation fails with brackets and Umlauts

[b90g]

Version

6.2.70

Installation method

Debian Packages

Expected behavior

Having filled in signs and umlauts in the name field of my mail client (thunderbird) just fills in the name in Sympa like

"verdigado test [B 90 / Die Grünen]" (via test-htmlkoepfe Mailing List) <test-htmlkoepfe@lists.verdigado.net>

Actual behavior

The from header name part gets through stages of transformation:
verdigado test [B 90 / Die Grünen]
i guess this is really normal:

From: =?UTF-8?Q?verdigado_test_=5BB_90_/_Die_Gr=C3=BCnen=5D?=
 <support.test@verdigado.net>

but what sympa sends me is not:

From: verdigado@lists01.mail.verdigado.net,
	test@lists01.mail.verdigado.net,
	"[B 90 / Die =?UTF-8?Q?Gr=C3=BCnen=5D?= (via test-htmlkoepfe Mailing List) <test-htmlkoepfe@lists.verdigado.net>]"@lists01.mail.verdigado.net

Google and others reject these messages because it has multiple From: addresses.

Steps to reproduce

Use umlauts an brackets in the name field of your mail client.

I use verdigado test [B 90 / Die Grünen]

Additional information

Maybe similar to: /1113

Hi @b90g ,
Perhaps #1572 might fix the problem? Could you please check it?

will come back when debian offers 2.6.74 or included this in their packages, thank you, looks promising,

Hi @b90g ,

I realized that this is due to a bug in MIME-EncWords module. If possible, please update it to the latest release and check if the problem will be solved.

Thanks, but we heavily rely on debian packages. just looked still the same version and the current version has not implemented into debians own system. also i dont have the capabilities to build a test environment even if sympa has .deb packages available. feel free to put it further onto backlog.

Corresponding package on Debian is libmime-encwords-perl. Currently trixie and sid have the package based on the latest release.
