help: Error code: Messaging error: Expected ";", got "," (MSG-0021,-1239009832-1108)

dear open-xchange experts,

first of all: thanks for this great groupware application, it works great for us for nearly half a year now.

however, today i ran into a problem related to forwarding an email (in general this is work, it is just this one particular mail that exhibits this problem as far as i see). the ox web frontend will complain

Error code: Messaging error: Expected ";", got "," (MSG-0021,-1239009832-1108)

(also see attached screenshot)

any ideas how to fix this / what causes this?

thanks and keep up the great work,

guenter

Hi,

thanks for the report - is it possible to hand over this e-mail to us? If it contains non-public data, you could also send it directly to me martin.braun[at]open-xchange.com. Please use a .eml export or something else to maintain the data structure of the original e-mail.

Greetings.

Hi,

we where able to reproduce the problem, the issue is a parameterized header that contains a comma character but no quotes around it. For example:

Content-Disposition: attachment;
	filename="test.xxx";
	size=1337;
	creation-date=Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:29:20 GMT;
	modification-date=Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:25:27 GMT

note that "Wed, 07" contains a delimiter character (the comma) but is not set into quotes. This leads to the reported error message - we assume a ; as delimiter character but , is read because quotes are missing. We're investigating if there is a possible workaround, from the technical side the E-Mail is not standards compliant, but i guess the recipient does not care about that stuff, he just wants to read his mail...

thanks again for this report
Martin
