Description Julian Pietron 2006-05-09 14:59:59 UTC 
Version:           1.2 (using KDE 3.5.2, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.6 (Gentoo 3.3.6, ssp-3.3.6-1.0, pie-8.7.8)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.14-gentoo-r5

When I receive eMails that are UTF-8 encoded, the message body is displayed correctly, but the subject (in the mail list and mail view) is not displayed in the right way. German Umlauts are replaced by strange signs, so Kontact/KMail does not seem to apply the encoding properly to message subjects. Encoding of the message is given in the header (by Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8), and the auto-detection for the message body does work.

UTF-8 encoded subjects are displayed perfectly fine.

I'd ask you to attach such a faulty email here, but that would be a waste of your time and mine. First, please make sure you did not select an encoding for emails (set it to Auto). If that doesn't solve, then the email you received is invalid, as it breaks the rules of RFC 2045, 2046, 2047 and 2822. Please report to the sender that he's using buggy software and he should update to something that complies to the last 10 years of Internet standards.
