Product: evolution
Component: evolution
Summary: Evolution badly translates character sets when fetching
mail from server
Product: evolution
Version: 1.4.4-1mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
Component: evolution
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Evolution seems to transform the charset of some of the messages I fetch from my
IMAP mailbox. It is hard to describe, thus I am going to show the differences
between what's stored on the server and what ends up in my evolution display.
The example concerns specifically one mail ; I list all headers and just the
first paragraph of the body. You'll see that :
1. The original "content-type" header is replaced by another one which appears
at the bottom of the headers
2. The mail body is wrongly translated in utf-8 characters (French accents)
whereas the "content-type" header still indicates iso-8859-1. The
"quoted-printable" encoding makes this quite clear (French accents are one
byte in iso-8859-1, and two in utf-8)
The net effect is that some of my e-mails become unreadable (broken French
accents).
