Re: [Build 69] Internal Error in slrn_convert_substring

The problem is the "From:" header, which is encoded as:

  <[email protected]=?=>

As the "x-user-defined" character set is meaningless, converting it to
the display character set will fail.  The "internal error" was
generated because the base64 decoded bytes contained a null ('\0')
byte, which, as far as I know, is illegal in a header.  slrn was not
expecting this and generated an internal error.  The latest
development snapshot detects this and converts the null byte to '?',
avoiding the internal error.

Hopefully this resolves the problem.

Thanks,
