These issues and PRs address crashes during IMAP fetch caused by malformed RFC 2047 encoded headers and unknown or non-standard charsets (such as QQ Mail's 'unknown-8bit'), which abort message ingestion. The work focuses on making header decoding and body text extraction resilient to these bad inputs rather than raising unhandled errors.

How this cluster was grouped
  • Link evidence (partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
  • Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
  • Pairwise link density 0.25: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. 1.00 means every pair is linked.
