Description Espen Stefansen 2009-10-15 11:27:08 UTC

Description of problem:
I use evolution-mapi and i've set default encoding to ISO-8859-1 in evolution. But still all emails with html that contains the norwegian characters æ, ø and å gets garbled. The paragraph that contains these letters, gets changed to '[?]'. The paragraphs that doesn't, is just fine.
But when i change the encoding from default to ISO-8859-1 for that particular email, the email is displayed correctly. 

It seems that evolution-mapi only interprets the mail-encoding, but not the html-encoding. Here's the encoding part from the header:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Content-Type: text/html; charset="CP28591"

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Word 12 (filtered medium)">

Evolution probably just finds the first encoding and uses that. But when the encoding is changed to iso-8859-1, everything is fine. If i get the same email without the html, øæå is displayed correctly.
