Issue 5734 exemplifies the problem: receive a message with an attachment
of type message/rfc822 that doesn't use base64 encoding for the body of
the attached message. K-9 Mail incorrectly stores the attached message
locally with its original headers but using base64 encoding for the body.
A discrepancy thus exists between what the headers say about the encoding
of the body versus the actual encoding used. This is obvious when
attempting to view the attachment (either by using a compatible message
viewer available on the device or by saving the attachment to a file and
viewing the file contents).
The process: When a message with an attached sub-message is received,
Message.parse puts the attachment in a new MimeMessage with the
attachment's body in a BinaryTempFileBody. LocalFolder.saveAttachment
then calls Message.writeTo (which later calls BinaryTempFileBody.writeTo)
to place the entire attachment (headers and body) in a new file that will
become a LocalAttachmentBody. Until now, BinaryTempFileBody.writeTo
could only save the message body using base64 encoding.
This commit implements BinaryTempFileBody.setEncoding and assures that the
body is written out with the same encoding that was found in its headers.
Currently, K-9 Mail detects if an SMTP server supports 8BITMIME (RFC
6152), and if so, TextBody parts are sent with content-transfer-ecoding =
8bit. Otherwise, they are sent using quoted-printable.
This adds the required "BODY=8BITMIME" parameter to the MAIL command when
sending messages to servers that support 8BITMIME.
This isn't the best solution. Most of the developers agree that a right-aligned
triangle or arrow would be a better fit for such an indicator. But we currently
don't have the time to write the code to do it.
Personally, I think we should try to get rid of submenus altogether.
The build.xml script was failing if there wasn't already a gh-pages
branch in the local git repo.
Changes:
Fetch the origin/gh-pages branch.
Create a temporary "gh-pages-tmp" branch using origin/gh-pages as the
starting point. And then as before, copy the changelog to the branch,
push the branch back to origin, and finally delete the temporary branch.
Added more comments to the script.

The new method is a little bit janky, but a little bit of jank is better than 2n
heavy SQL count queries per folder before we even show the folder list.
On my 200 folder account, display of the folder list activity drops from 10+s to
< 1s
If you attempted to use SSL to connect to a server that speaks
STARTTLS, you should get an SSL protocol error. Instead, you
were likely to get an "Unrecognized Certificate" error that shows
you an unrelated certificate chain and asks you to accept it or
reject it. Neither action would work because the actual problem
had nothing to do with certificates. The unrelated certificate
chain that popped up had been statically stored when validating
a prior connection to a different server.
With this patch, certificate chains are no longer stored statically
when validating server connections.
Issue 5886 is an example of a user experiencing this problem.
Deleting a message creates an entry in EmailProviderCache so
EmailProviderCacheCursor can skip the Cursor row during the time
it takes to update the database.
Previously EmailProviderCacheCursor.isLast() returned the wrong
result when the last row in the wrapped Cursor was hidden. This
lead to the crash in MergeCursor.
Fixes issue 5820
