Description of problem:
emails with german umlauts in it are not diplayed correctly in subject
and sometimes in the body of the mail.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-1.5.9.2-1

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open an email with german umlauts in it


Actual Results:  I have some problems with characters like "����"
(german umlauts) in evolution.

One header source might look like this:


Subject:
       
=?iso-8859-1?Q?Erkl=E4rung_der_Europ=E4ischen_Kommission_zu_Tibet/UN-Sond?=
       
=?iso-8859-1?Q?erberichterstatter_f=FCr_Folter_mu=DF__China-Besuch_versch?=
        =?iso-8859-1?Q?ieben?=

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.6604 (9.0.2911.0)
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1409


Evolution displays it like this:

=?iso-8859-1?Q?Erkl=E4rung_der_Europ=E4ischen_Kommission_zu_Tibet/UN-Sond?=
=?iso-8859-1?Q?erberichterstatter_f=FCr_Folter_mu=DF__China-Besuch_versch?=
ieben.

In some mails, even umlauts in message body are missing. Like ion this
one (missing character is marked with ><):

[] Computer-Virus plagt schwedische Krankenkasse [Update]
http://www.heise.de/security/news/meldung/48535
Um der Lage Herr zu werden haben die Techniker der staatlichen
schwedischen
Krankenkasse viele Systeme abgeschaltet und analysieren zurzeit die
Angriffe.> <ber Herkunft und Art des Virus gibt es bislang keine Auskunft.


I think I had this error before the update to 1.5.9.x .




Expected Results:  all characters are displayes corectly.

Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.

Comment 2 Thilo Pfennig 2005-12-16 15:07:25 UTC
I think this was fixed earlier
