Description Amit Shah 2004-03-12 11:16:27 UTC

Version:           0.7.7 (using KDE 3.2.1,  (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.3-mm3

Some characters with accents are not shown in the messages list. A checkered box is shown instead. However, in the message preview pane, the character is shown properly.

Example: For messages from Ondřej Surý, the 'r' with the reverse cap (Sorry, I don't know what it's called) is shown as a box in the messages list, but shown properly in the message preview pane.

However, the y with the accent is shown properly in the message list view.

This has been fixed. Do not remember when though.
A fallback encoding must be set in the group property or globally for this to work.
