This is the BASE64 encoding of the subject. It was discussed here and I implemented it according to RFC2047. |
Well not quite. According to the RFC the encoded word must not be longer than 75 characters! Indeed
shorter subjects are displayed by pine, but not longer ones as they do not follow RFC2047.
Below is the quote from the RFC.

All subjects I receive look fine in Outlook and Thunderbird, but not under Pine, which apparently does not implement the RFC correctly.

Actually pine implements it correctly but not elogd 
The relevant text from the RFC
An 'encoded-word' may not be more than 75 characters long, including
'charset', 'encoding', 'encoded-text', and delimiters. If it is
desirable to encode more text than will fit in an 'encoded-word' of
75 characters, multiple 'encoded-word's (separated by CRLF SPACE) may
be used.

You are right  , thanks for this information, I overlooked it.
Now I split a long subject into separate chunks of encoded words, and my pine is happy. Update in CVS. |

 | Chris Green | greenc@fnal.gov | Question | Linux | 2.6.0b | Literal comma in elogd.conf entries where "," is an item separator? | Hi,
Could you tell me if there is a way to escape characters in elogd.conf? Particularly, I want to have a drop-down "Keyword" attribute where one of the options is "Spelling, grammar and typos.". This invariably gets split into "Spelling" and "grammar and typos". I've tried "\,", ",,", "%," and "%27", to no avail.
Can I get there from here, or do I have to go someplace else?
Thanks,
Chris. |

Just put it in quotations, like
Options Keyword = "Spelling, grammar and typos", Other
that will do the job. |

 | Chris Green | greenc@fnal.gov | Question | Linux | 2.6.0b | Can't set Author attribute properly in reply? | Hi,
I have two problems:
1) With the configuration below, I can't set the Author attribute to be the author of the reply. As written, it gives the Author field as blank. If the Remove on Reply line is removed, it is set to the parent's author. What am I doing wrong?
2) With the Page Title line set as shown, $logbook gets expanded as "Charged+Current+Pi+Plus". If the line is left blank, the correct "Charged Current Pi Plus" gets put in the title line.
Thanks for any help,
Chris.

Hey, elog made it to MiniBooNE! I'm working on MEG...
What you need is the following:Preset on reply subject = Re: $subject
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on Reply Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
The Subst statements work after the entry gets submitted, while the preset statements work before. So Preset on Reply <attribute> is what you need.

The substitution $logbook originally produces a valid URL to the logbook, and thus replaces blanks by "+". I changed that so that $logbook produces the original name containing blanks, and $elogbook is the encoded one with the "+"'s. The change is in revision 1.723 |
