Description

I can confirm this bug:
when I reply to multipart ("multipart/alternative" composed of "text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-2" + "text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2") messages with accented chars in them, the characters in reply are garbled (while the original message renders okay). I'll attach a screenshot.
This does not happen when original message is not multipart, but simple text/plain or text/html
kmail2 version: Version 2.0.89 (kdepim 4.6 beta4)

Hmm, I can't reproduce, I tried this with the header data you provided (will attach the full mail I tried shortly). The composer showed the non-ascii characters correctly. Created attachment 60043 [details]

(In reply to comment #4) > Created an attachment (id=60043) [details] > Mail that doesn't cause the problem for me Thanks for testing, Thomas, mail you attached doesn't cause problems even for me, but it doesn't contain accented characters in body. I will attach such mail in a moment. (however, the original description was about headers - that part is fixed now as far as I can tell) Created attachment 60044 [details]

Christophe, thanks for testing. You motivated me to create new blank user account and guess what - it worked flawlessly there! So this must be something wrong with my config. Do you have idea where could it be before a throw away all kmail config and start from scratch? Concerning this bug I think it could be closed as WORKSWORME because my issue to be just weird configuration problem. (i started using kontact2 last summer, so there may be just random junk in config files) I have an idea. In the Kmail settings, composer then the charset tab. Is the "Keep original charset when replying of forwarding" box checked ? If you want to compare the working and broken config files, look for 'force-reply-charset' in ~/.kde/share/config/kmail2rc, the default if false (In reply to comment #11) > I have an idea. > In the Kmail settings, composer then the charset tab. Is the "Keep original > charset when replying of forwarding" box checked ? That did the trick! I had that option checked and unchecking it fixed the problem. Thanks! So the bug can be reformulated as: "Keep original charset when replying of forwarding" option garbles accented characters for multipart e-mails. (however, I had it checked only accidentally. Maybe such feature can be removed completely if it is (partially) broken.) This bug should be closed: NOTABUG (In reply to comment #14) > This bug should be closed: NOTABUG No no, this bug still exists and is reproducible, and the bug title is now also up to date - thanks, Christophe. I confirm the bug. I get messages in Arabic language (mainly utf8) and when I reply or forward while the option "keep original charset when replying or forwarding (if possible)" is checked, the messages are converted to garbage. *** Bug 280952 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Still reproducable in KDE-4.10 This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months. Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input. |
