I meant "quoted-printable" in the Content-Transfer-Encoding header.

Yes. It is. What does that do?

You can add soft linebreaks so that something like:
How do you add soft linebreaks?

  | Foo=
  | Bar.
  | Foo
  | Bar.

IIRC has to be displayed as:

  | Foobar.
  | Foo
  | Bar.

...because IIRC for quoted-printable there's a maximum line length defined somewhere around 72-75 characters and a softbreak IIRC is just a equals sign at the line's end.

That means that urlview does a perfectly correct job with $pipe_decode unset because your long URL seems to broken into such shorter lines with soft linebreaks and urlview only sees the first though these are assembled into just 1 on your screen because it's wide enough.

You can see the difference when you view the raw message (pipe it through less in mutt) with $pipe_decode set and unset.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought I was loosing my mind.

  bye, Rocco
