I'll prepare an upload with urgency high, which I will upload before
Sunday's dinstall run. This package should go to sarge as well.
MIME::QuotedPrint 3.03 (updated in the NMU) is a prerequisite for
libmime-perl 5.413, which changes the following important (for a mail
and spam checker critical) things:
2004-09-07 David F. Skoll <dfs@roaringpenguin.com>
* lib/MIME/Parser/Filer.pm (evil_filename): Make evil_filename
more paranoid (Julian Field and Martin Blapp)
* lib/MIME/Decoder.pm: Require MIME::QuotedPrint 3.03 or newer
for correct decoding of binary attachments. (Alexey Kravchuk)
2004-09-09 David F. Skoll <dfs@roaringpenguin.com>
* VERSION 5.412 RELEASED
* Recognize "binhex40", "mac-binhex" and "mac-binhex40"
Content-Transfer-Encodings.
* Filer.pm: Be much more strict in evil_filename, allowing only
a set of known good characters.
