format-patch: RFC 2047 says multi-octet character may not be split
Even though an earlier attempt (bafc478..41dd00b) cleaned
up RFC 2047 encoding, pretty.c::add_rfc2047() still decides
where to split the output line by going through the input
one byte at a time, and potentially splits a character in
the middle. A subject line may end up showing like this:
".... fö?? bar". (instead of ".... föö bar".)
if split incorrectly.
RFC 2047, section 5 (3) explicitly forbids such beaviour
Each 'encoded-word' MUST represent an integral number of
characters. A multi-octet character may not be split across
adjacent 'encoded- word's.
that means that e.g. for
Subject: .... föö bar
encoding
Subject: =?UTF-8?q?....=20f=C3=B6=C3=B6?=
=?UTF-8?q?=20bar?=
is correct, and
Subject: =?UTF-8?q?....=20f=C3=B6=C3?= <-- NOTE ö is broken here
=?UTF-8?q?=B6=20bar?=
is not, because "ö" character UTF-8 encoding C3 B6 is split here across
adjacent encoded words.
To fix the problem, make the loop grab one _character_ at a time and
determine its output length to see where to break the output line. Note
that this version only knows about UTF-8, but the logic to grab one
character is abstracted out in mbs_chrlen() function to make it possible
to extend it to other encodings with the help of iconv in the future.
