Bug ID: 48795
           Summary: Patches website mishandles HTML attachments
           Product: WineHQ.org
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: www-unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Here is an example:
https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/181590

Created from:
https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2020-March/162581.html

This typically happens with replies to patches:
* In the plain text version the diff is prefixed with "> " characters so it is
not recognized as a patch.
* But in the HTML version or the email the quoting is done through HTML tags
which typically leave "+++" at the start of the line. As a result the HTML part
can look like a patch.

But it could also happen if someone sends a patch in an HTML-only email (e.g.
due to a mail client misconfiguration).

The TestBot normally ignores HTML attachments (see NewPatch() in Patches.pm).
But when patches go through the patches website the TestBot does not have
access to the raw email. Instead it gets the files prepared by the patches
website as in the first link. Such files erase the distinction between the
plain text and HTML part and so mislead the TestBot into creating a job.

Test mbox containing an email with an HTML attachment

To use this test mbox, set up ~/.procmailrc to invoke patches/filter and put
the resulting file in the relevant maildir directory. Then:

formail -ds procmail ~/.procmailrc <~/html.mbox

Note that the resulting file will not be added to the patches index because it
is missing the "---" line that patches/updates looks for.

To get the TestBot to take the file into account run:

./testbot/bin/WinePatchesWebSubmit.pl
