jvc / cleanup-maildir Goto Github PK

Hi,

I'm having this problem with cleanup-maildir when i run it on a large folder of mail, i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./cleanup-maildir", line 504, in
cleaner.clean(mode, dir, minAge)
File "./cleanup-maildir", line 405, in clean
self.log(logging.DEBUG, "Keeping #%d (fresh)" % i, msg)
File "./cleanup-maildir", line 410, in log
subj = msgObj.getSubject()
File "./cleanup-maildir", line 209, in getSubject
email.Header.decode_header(s)))
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/email/header.py", line 101, in decode_header
raise HeaderParseError
email.errors.HeaderParseError

i added some debug code, to try and get more info, but I'm no expert in python so i'm a bit lost as to how i might get more info.

i changed the code to read:
def getSubject(self):
"""get the message's subject as a unicode string"""

    import email.Header
    s = self.getheader("Subject")
    try:
        print "DEBUG: subject=", s
        return u"".join(map(lambda x: x[0].decode(x[1] or 'ASCII', 'replace'),
                            email.Header.decode_header(s)))
    except(LookupError):
        return s
    except:
        print "Unexpected error:", sys.exc_info()[0]
        print "email.Header.decode_header(s) s =", s
        raise

also note -
here is my debug output
INFO:MaildirCleaner:(Not really) Archiving #18127 to a Reference.2007: TCF: UNS: Segfault in Samba
DEBUG: subject= eBay Favourite Search: m-audio
INFO:MaildirCleaner:(Not really) Archiving #18128 to a Reference.2007: eBay Favourite Search: m-audio

email.Header.decode_header(s) s = =?UTF-8?B?VGhhbmsgeW91IGZvciB5b3VyIGZlZWRi?==?UTF-8?B?YWNr?=

see how the header is funny for the last one that seems to cause the error?

any suggestions?
