Package: kmail Version: 4:3.2.1-1 Severity: normal Followup-For: Bug #242520
a temporary solution is to set the environment variable KDE_UTF8_FILENAMES=true, and to run kmail with: env LANG=he_IL kmail appearntly this fixes the problem + another problem that outgoing messages are by default encoded with UTF-8, which is not widely used with hebrew messages and needed to be changed on each outgoing message to either ISO8859-8-I or to CP1255, I guess that a pernament solution will be to have config options for default locale, like in mozilla-thunderbird where you can set the default incoming and outgoing locales.. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.4-1-686 Locale: LANG=he_IL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=he_IL.UTF-8 Versions of packages kmail depends on: ii kdebase-kio-plugins 4:3.2.1-1 KDE I/O Slaves ii kdelibs4 4:3.2.1-1 KDE core libraries ii ktnef 4:3.2.1-1 KDE TNEF viewer ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-3 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0c102 2.7.0-5 client library to control the FAM ii libgcc1 1:3.3.3-6 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0-7 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-9 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkcal2 4:3.2.1-1 KDE calendaring library ii libkdenetwork2 4:3.2.1-1 KDE Network library ii libkdepim1 4:3.2.1-1 KDE PIM library ii libksieve0 4:3.2.1-1 KDE mail/news message filtering li ii libmimelib1 4:3.2.1-1 KDE mime library ii libpcre3 4.5-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-5 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.2.3-2 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 4.3.0-7 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.3-6 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0-7 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0-7 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xlibs 4.3.0-7 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-5 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
