Hello, it seems, that Mahogany wrongly encodes some Subject-Lines containing Non-ASCII-characters. Those lines aren't correctly displayed by most MUAs, funnily enough sometimes _including_ Mahogany.
Find below the conversation between Lutz (a friend of mine, using Mulberry) and one of the Mulbery-developers. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Date: Montag, 2003-09-01 16:36 -0400 From: Cyrus Daboo To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Foreign Chars's in subject line Hi Lutz, --On Monday, September 01, 2003 10:17:57 PM +0200 Lutz wrote: | I have some problems with foreign chars in the subject line (created by | the email client Mahogany).

If there is no encoded data then it should not be present at all according to the spec. When I corrected the subject line and put it in a message in a local mailbox it was parsed correctly. Our policy is that if there is ANY problem doing MIME decoding of a header then the entire header is left unencoded. It may be that Mozilla decodes the first part and then fails on the second illegal token, though it does show the decoded first part. --------- End Forwarded Message ---------- Side note: The original Subject-Line was something along the line of: ������� - Du wolltest es nicht besser Please drop me a note, if I should open a case in the Bugtracker.
