- blueflow 2y agoDoesn't require, but comfortably allows you to do.
- unilynx 2y agoAgreed. But this is SMTP, I have no doubt there are gateways out there that will reencode the mail and put the dot back in the wrong place, eg in the name of wrapping all URLs behind a phishing-warning-page
- opello 2y agoI think the point here is that any subsequent implementation handling the message may well not be susceptible to the problem thus avoiding the erroneous behavior.
- int_19h 2y agoIt can handle it fine in that sense, but still unquote it before sending it over to the next node. Which might have the bug.
