Comment 4 zhifeng 2013-03-25 08:26:27 UTC 
the problem is about it's subject. it not encode right. and the kmail had not detect it ? or kmail only can read utf-8 charset encoding at the mail list view?
Comment 5 Laurent Montel 2013-03-25 17:27:50 UTC 
Thunderbird has same problem.
We can't read charset from subject.
Comment 6 zhifeng 2013-03-25 21:56:27 UTC 
is there any way to detecting charset encoding? may be microsoft outlook express and microsoft outlook more wisely?
Comment 7 Chao Feng 2013-06-21 13:30:50 UTC 
When detect a encoding, more text is needed. 

If OS language is Chinese, when auto detect fail, Outlook and express will use GBK as default while  Thunderbird or Kmail use utf8. It is just lucky this time I think.
Comment 8 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 18:16:49 UTC 
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.
Comment 9 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 21:52:33 UTC 
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.
