Bug ID: 360923
Summary: [compatibility] broken characters in subject, if it is
splitted violating RFC
Product: kdepim
Version: GIT (master)
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: messagelist
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@mva.name
Hi!
Unfortunately, it is 5 am here, so I can't remember (and can't google for it
right now) the number of RFC describing subject header splitting rules, but I
do remember, that it forbids splitting characters and states that split should
be before the first byte of the character in that case.
And also I do remember, that there probably was similar bug in old kmail from
the times of kde3.
Anyway, the problem is in that fact, that messagelist doesn't concat that
splitted-in-the-middle characters in the Subject header, and render two (in
case of utf8) diamonds instead.
Other clients (Thunderbird, Outlook and so on) do show it normally.
Attachments:

Reproducible: Always
