            Bug ID: 312391
           Summary: Reference line is too long in deeply nested threads
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: knode
           Version: 4.9
          Hardware: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: bugs.kde.org at philippgampe.info

If you reply to a message inside deeply nested thead, then the Reference header
lines gets too long and the server refuses the message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Replay to deeply nested thread

Actual Results:  
Message refuses the server and Knode displays an error message. The message is
refused with "441 437 Too long line in header 1030 bytes", because the
References line is not truncated.

Expected Results:  
Message is send to server. The references line is truncated.

Knode does not forwards the actual error message from the server, but talks
about an error and a possible readonly group.

Test mail ... ignored it ... it is to reproduce a Knode bug.

441 437 Too long line in header 1030 bytes
---------------------------8<--------------------------

I manually edited the message in the outbox mbox file and deleted the first two
references. Then I could send the mail. However I do not think is is an
acceptable workaround and deeply nested threads should not be that uncommon.

The news server is lists.typo3.org (aka srv102.typo3.org).
