Package: enigmail Version: 2:1.9.8.1-1 Severity: normal Hello Daniel,
as long as I remember unfortunately Enigmail is showing the messages in UI widgets that comes from the output of a gpg call with broken german umlauts. :-) Now I decided to report this thing. If you for example take a look into the output of UI widget right after updating some random public key you will see some weired output in the message window. But first going down to gpg itself to see what I expected to see within Enigmail. That's what gpg is doing if I call it in terminal without my typical german environment LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 $ LANG= gpg --refresh-keys 0A9FCFB28F7F561C gpg: refreshing 1 key from hkp://keys.gnupg.net gpg: key 0A9FCFB28F7F561C: "Christopher Pavlina (Launchpad) <pavlina.ch...@gmail.com>" not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1 And this is with a active LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 $ gpg --refresh-keys 0A9FCFB28F7F561C gpg: 1 Schlüssel wird per hkp://keys.gnupg.net aktualisiert gpg: Schlüssel 0A9FCFB28F7F561C: "Christopher Pavlina (Launchpad) <pavlina.ch...@gmail.com>" nicht geändert gpg: Anzahl insgesamt bearbeiteter Schlüssel: 1 gpg: unverändert: 1 All fine and so far so good. But within Enigmail the UI show some broken umlauts then. Please see attached screenshot. I've no idea there the output of gpg will be broken, but the UI is showing for the german character 'ü' a 'ü'. This looks for me like a translation error between Windows-1252 <=> UTF-8, but I maybe wrong. Maybe some useful hints to catch the root of this issue can be found on http://www.i18nqa.com/debug/utf8-debug.html Please see Unicode character U+00FC on the right side of the table on the bottom. Regards and thanks!
