Hi Gregor,
did you have a lot of messages in your index added by Sup 0.13 or
earlier? Do you get the same error if you move the old xapian folder out
of the way and try to re-index your messages?
It is possible to restore labels using sup-dump and sup-sync --restore.
Otherwise, I used to hackishly fix this error when it occured at some
other point by doing the following fix:
diff --git a/lib/sup/util.rb b/lib/sup/util.rb
index 5cff6fa..4579a38 100644
--- a/lib/sup/util.rb
+++ b/lib/sup/util.rb
@@ -256,7 +256,7 @@ end
class String
def display_length
- @display_length ||= Unicode.width(self, false)
+ @display_length ||= Unicode.width(self.fix_encoding, false)
end
def slice_by_display_length len
The problem is that the string which is being formatted (or sought the
width of) is of some sort of encoding (probably already UTF-8), but Ruby
or NCurses or RMail or whatever has lost the encoding, and although the
bytes are encoded they are treated as binary (ASCII-8BIT). There is
generally no way to figure out what the original encoding was, but we
can guess that it is UTF-8 and fix it.
Regards, Gaute
