23420,"Lost password, invalid key - noticed something",demonpengu,,"Hi there,

I have noticed something about the lost password/email retrieval that may be a bug or may help out with the number of requests this gets.

The link sent with the key and user name is surrounded with < and >

Some email clients are misinterpreting this link and including the > at the end of the user name which in turn kills the database query because the user name does not match.

I have run a couple of tests changing line 235 of wp-login.php to be:


{{{
$message .= network_site_url(""wp-login.php?action=rp&key=$key&login="" . rawurlencode($user_login), 'login') . ""\r\n"";

}}}

from


{{{
$message .= '<' . network_site_url(""wp-login.php?action=rp&key=$key&login="" . rawurlencode($user_login), 'login') . "">\r\n"";
}}}


This seems to sort the problem out.",enhancement,new,normal,Awaiting Review,Mail,3.5.1,normal,,close,
