Bug ID: 420766 Summary: FROM field empty in some e-mails Product: kmail2 Version: 5.14.0 Platform: Neon Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: david.de...@ehu.eus Target Milestone: --- In the last days, some of the e-mails that I have received show an empty FROM field in KMail. This may have coincided with upgrading to 20.04. Some remarks: The e-mails don't actually have an empty FROM field. Other clients show them correctly. Those e-mails have certain things in common (which may or not be relevant): - They have been sent from the same server (all e-mails being notifications from comments in forums at my university's Moodle). - In those e-mails, the FROM field has characters like "é", "ú", "ñ". - In the e-mail source, the FROM field looks like this: "=?utf-8?B?TWFyw61hICBMZcOzbiBHb256w6FsZXogKGVnZWxhIDIwMTktMjAtKHIpZW4=?= =?utf-8?B?IGJpdGFydGV6KQ==?=" <actual e-mail address of the sender> Thinking that those special characters might be responsible for the bug, I sent myself an e-mail in which I manually changed my name from David to Dávid, and included an attachment named "filé.txt". When I received it back, it didn't show an empty FROM field like the other e-mails, but it did show something interesting: "Dávid" was shown as "D?vid", and the attachment file name was shown as "t?do.txt". Manually changing the encoding in the View menu didn't fix this. I suspect this might be due to the same bug I'm reporting here, because I have never noticed anything like this either. If it isn't, I guess I will report a separate bug for that, because that's not the expected behavior either.
