Description birger 2009-04-20 08:54:11 UTC 
Description of problem: Various issues with non-english characters


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-mapi-0.26.1-1.fc11.i586


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open exchange folder with email containing non-english characters in headers or body
2. 
3. 
  
Actual results:
In the mail list pane all non-english characters are corrupt (from and subject fields)
In mail preview or view, the headers look ok at least with my so far limited testing, but the message body varies. Either the characters show up ok, or they disappear.

Expected results:
All characters should show as expected.

Additional info:
I assume the problem with smileys showing up as ordinary characters is another one. Are smileys written in outlook characters in the windings font or something like that?

This seems to be upstreams already as bug 569321. Partially solved (that is it's supposed to be solved in evolution-mapi, but some problems have to be fixed in libmapi as well)
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2009-05-21 19:15:04 UTC 
Deferring to the upstream bug since it's already being investigated.

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=569321 for further updates.
