Description Peter Volkov 2005-06-09 08:13:57 UTC

Version:           1.8.1 (using KDE 3.4.1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11-gentoo-r9

When I read my mail in kmail's preview window, russian letters are ok, but if I open (for example, using doubleclick on mail in the mail list) same mail in other window It became unreadable.

My locale is utf8. I'm using autoencoding in kmail.

BTW. If I set encoding not auto, but for example koi8-r then I can read mail both in preview and in different window.

BTW2. I do not have time, right now, but it seems to me that this bug was introduced in kmail 1.8. If you need to know this 100% sure then tell me.

Image, which shows the problem.

Well. I've have the sam problem again. So I think the bug exist. Look at this picture in attachement.

To workaround the problem I have to change encoding from auto encoding on some other and back into auto.

Mail, I could not open in readable form.

But I do not think this bug is in broken mail. ANY mail I have, that is written
in charset other from askii, was unreadable...

And as I already told if I change encoding in sequence: auto -> any other
encoding -> auto, then the problem will be fixed.

I closed kmail and start it again, but the problem is not reproduced.

I will try to reproduce problem with reboot tomorow.

Comment 7 Thiago Macieira 2005-06-12 20:45:04 UTC

Mail seems properly encoded:

Content-Type: text/plain;
  charset=koi8-r
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

But I cannot reproduce it.
