Hi,
while working on the GPG signature verification, I noticed that RMail’s MIME
parsing sucks, at least with Ruby 1.9.3:
When encountering a boundary, such as "--=_libri-22937-1314886853-0001-2--",
RMail turns that into a regular expression which matches any amount of
characters or the whole thing, that looks like this:
\-(?:\-(?:=(?:_(?:l(?:i(?:b(?:r(?:i(?:\-(?:2(?:2(?:9(?:3(?:7(?:\-(?:1(?:3(?:1(?:4(?:8(?:8(?:6(?:8(?:5(?:3(?:\-(?:0(?:0(?:0(?:1(?:\-(?:2|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)|\z)
Running this regular expression leads to a SystemStackError. What is an
appropriate way to handle this? As far as I understand, RMail is unmaintained.
And we wanted to switch away from it. Should we monkey-patch?
Best regards,
Michael
