Description Elan Ruusamäe 2008-09-04 21:58:26 UTC

Version:           1.9.10 (using 3.5.10, PLD Linux Distribution)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.6 (PLD Linux)
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.24.7_desktop-2

kmail 1.9.10 doesn't render anymore properly From: header with quoted-printable encoding.

raw header:
From: Elan =?ISO-8859-1?q?Ruusam=e4e?= <glen@delfi.ee>

i should see:
From: Elan Ruusamäe <glen@delfi.ee>

while i see:
From: Elan Ruusame4e <glen@delfi.ee>

oddly enough, this line is rendered properly:

From: Elan =?iso-8859-1?q?Ruusam=E4e?= <glen@delfi.ee>

note the case differs.

actually http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2045.html says:
"Uppercase letters must be used; lowercase letters are not allowed. "

so could close bug as bogus, but your mileage may vary :)

as requested by the reporter on irc :)
