Description Alexei 2008-06-03 08:36:16 UTC 
Version:           0.99.01 (using 4.00.80 (KDE 4.0.80 >= (KDE 4.1 Beta1), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18-4-686

In knode from KDE 3.5.9 all ok, but witch KDE4 I have some troubles.

Newsgroup works witch KOI8-R codepage, more Outlook Express users, if there is no charset="koi8-r"; in headers, title shows with grap symbols. In the message body all OK.

I think, in knode from 3.5.9 there is an option to set default encoding for INBOX, but in this knode i see only POSTING charset options.

Some screenshots:

all OK

Comment 1 Olivier Trichet 2009-05-10 20:17:26 UTC 
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.
