Version: 1.9 (using KDE 3.5.0, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.9-1.667smp I get email with headers: ... Content-Type: text/plain; charset=KOI8-R; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ... Subject: [Qt] "горячие клавиши" ... KDE with locale ru_RU.UTF-8. KMail show text correct but cyrillic in subject line is shown as squares. Does KMail handle charset in Content-Type: correct?
Subject: lines MUST be 7-bit ASCII. Anything else is a bug, so please be sure to report this bug to the mailer that sent that message. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 95157 ***
According RFC 822: "3.1.2. STRUCTURE OF HEADER FIELDS": "The field-body may be composed of any ASCII characters, except CR or LF." In what RFC is it defined 7-bit ASCII ?
ASCII is by definition 7-bit
There is an open report about having KMail decode the 8-bit headers with the body's encoding. That's bug 95157, which I marked this report a duplicate of. Even so, it doesn't make the 8-bit headers any less buggy. Please report to the sender that his mailer is broken and should be fixed, as per RFC 2045, 2046, 2047, 2048, 2049 and 2822.
