[Mimedefang] Adding foreign caracters with append_text_boilerplate()

[Oliver Schulze L.]

Hi David,
I have done some debug and wait to hear this:

If I send a plain text US-ASCII email and add a US-ASCII text,
append_text_boilerplate() convert my plain text email to a MIME email.

This is what I have in filter_end()
sub filter_end($)
{
  my($entity) = @_;

  my($trailer_tmp) = "this is a test";
  append_text_boilerplater($entity, $trailer_tmp, 0);
}

If I remove the append_text_boilerplater() or send a MIME email, the
plain text email is not converted to MIME.

I send an email via Mozilla and via 'echo "test" | mail -s test user'

I think something terrible happened to my installation. :-(

I'm using RedHat 9.0

Anyone one using RH9?

Thanks
Oliver
