Description Michael Stather 2005-10-22 21:14:48 UTC

Version:           0.9.92 (using KDE 3.4.91 (beta1, >= 20050910) Level "a" , SUSE 10.0.42)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13.2-2-default

I´ve a group which charset is ISO-8859-1. I changed it in the group properties. The message bodies with special german characters (umlauts) are displayed fine but the message subjects are not. It seems like UTF-8 is assumed but ISO-8859-1 is returned (the same charset as the messages) so the special chars are displayed as 2 placeholder chars because they shoudn´t appear in UTF-8.

SVN commit 966237 by otrichet:

Try to properly decode 8bit string coming from XOVER listing

 - Use the default charset of the group (or the global posting charset
   -- need to add a global default reading charset --) to decode 8bit
   data (From and Subject). This restore the behaviour from KDE3
 - The from and subject line in the message view should also be fine
   when the message is not what we usually expect.

This needs that either the global charset or the charset of the group to
be defined to the local legacy encoding to do something usefull.
Viva UTF-8.
