Description Falk Müller 2008-07-15 16:22:30 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When creating a new mail or replying on a mail my identity-name is misspelled. It was always spelled correct until today or yesterday: "Müller".

From today it is shown as "=?iso-8859-1?q?M=FCller?=".

Changing it manually to "Müller" will also misspell it in receiver's mailbox to "=?iso-8859-1?q?M=FCller?=".

=?iso-8859-1?q?M=FCller?= is the correct RFC2047 encoding for Müller.
The question is rather why it is not decoded correctly.

Where is your name incorrectly shown? In the message list? In the reader window? Somewhere else?

Can you attach such a mail?
You said it was correct until today or yesterday: What did you do that changed it? Did you upgrade?

In the "new e-mail window" and in recipient-window. Also this e-mail will show the wrong sender.

Here are two screenshots attached. If attachments do not work:

Yes, there was upgrade so this must be the reason.

"Also this e-mail will show the wrong sender."

--> Sadly this effect cannot be seen here in the bug tracking system but it is true though.

This does not happen with the KDE4 version, and Ingo on the kdepim-users list wrote:
