The minimum length of an encoded-word is actually the pure encoding overhead plus the length of the `output-charset` plus the minimum unit of encoded text, which is 4 for B-encoding and (for simplicity) 3 for Q-encoding. We also cater to the possibility that we need further encoded words, which would be split by the `line-break-chars` followed by a space character. Obviously, the former `out_charset_len + 12` is too simplistic and wrong in the given case (where the magic number would be 13). These simplifications are somewhat wasteful, but iconv_mime_encode() with Q-encoding is wasteful anyway (see bug 66828[1]), and the proper solution to convert the whole input to the desired output charset upfront, and applying the encoding afterwards appears too much a change for the stable releases.

I'm not sure whether this fix would have unintended side effects, so unless there are objections, I'll skip the stable branches, and apply this patch to PHP-7.3+ only on the weekend. |
