Bug#386306: debian-specific patch causes errors sending to e.g.: "test tester <test@example.com>"

Wed Sep 6 16:51:08 UTC 2006

Package: libmime-lite-perl
Version: 3.01-4

A diff from CPAN source to the installed debian package shows line 513 of the debian package has:

return map { $_->address } Mail::Address->parse($_[0]);

instead of 

return map { $_->format } Mail::Address->parse($_[0]);

which is in the CPAN sources. The following script runs against the CPAN-built module, but errors out when run against the Debian module:

sallen at debian:~$ more test
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use MIME::Lite;
use strict;

my $name = "Shane Allen";
my $email = 'from at example.com';
my $myname = "test tester";
my $myemail = 'test at hrsmart.com';

my $mail = MIME::Lite->new(
        To => "$name <$email>",
        From => "$myname <$myemail>",
        Subject => "Debian MIME::Lite test",
        Type => 'text/html',
        Data => "<html><body>Test test</body></html>"
);
$mail->send();
sallen at debian:~$ perl test
can't extract address at < tester <test at hrsmart.com>> in <test tester <test at hrsmart.com>>
