I have noticed a problem recently, which I did not have
with SeaMonkey v14.1. With v17.1 and v20 some (most)
accented characters are incorrectly displayed in the
mail component of SeaMonkey. The characters are displayed
correctly if I select "view message body as simple HTML",
though. Only "original HTML" gives problems, but for many
(other) messages simple html is, well, too simplistic
and messes up formatting. The messages I am having problems
with contain French characters and originate from Outlook
but I wouldn't be too quick on blaming it on that source,
since again, the same messages/profile display just fine
(in original html mode) when reverting to SM14
Has anyone noticed something similar, or know of a related
bug already having been logged ?
I see a post by "flyguy" titled Getting strange characters in emails
instead of ' and "
This describes a similar problem. In his case it seems the problematic
messages were using UTF-8 whereas mine are ISO-8859-1, and A.Williams
suggested the bug might be originating from ThunderBird
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594646 )
Quite possibly, but unfortunately I can confirm the problem is
definitely still there in SM20.
I have one Windows system where I have set Seamonkey up to handle mail,
and a couple of Linux systems with the same setup. Mail stays on the
server for n weeks or until I delete it.
The Windows XP machine renders such mail correctly and did with 2.19 as
well.
The Linux machines still have the problem with 2.19, I have not updated
to 2.20 yet.
Of course there may be some setting responsible, I normally display
mails as text and I need to check the XP machine (it is elsewhere) to
see if I changed that to 'display as html'.
Of course I should have mentioned my OS. In fact I am seeing the same
behaviour both on win7 and linux (both 32 bits, mozilla.org builds):
SM14 is alright, SM17 and SM20 are not. (I have not tried all
intermediary versions)
This is with messages fetched over IMAP from a gmail account.
What puzzles me is I have done some additional tests since yesterday,
and Thunderbird does *not* seem to exhibit the same problem
(I have tried 10.0.12, 16.0, 17.0.4 an 17.0.8 on win7). Go figure...
