Description of problem:
When viewing a ISO8859-1 (Latin-1) encoded plain text message in
Evolution, extended characters appear incorrectly (for instance, an
o-umlaut appears as an odd symbol that looks something like an X or
an asterisk).

I will fetch the latest Raw Hide package and test that just in case
this issue has been fixed recently.


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.

    

Additional info:

This is using evolution-1.2.0-2 downloaded a couple weeks ago from
Raw Hide.  I have a feeling this issue also existed in evolution 1.0.x.

I have tried various different fonts, but the characters are still
rendered incorrectly.

I am using a mostly standard Red Hat Linux 8.0 with en_AU.UTF8 locale.

The mail message I saw this with most recently had specifically
stated it was encoded using ISO8859-1, as the headers contained:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
