Description Martin Schlander 2008-08-18 23:49:54 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I've configured knode to post using ISO 8859-15. 

In the headers of posts sent by me there's this:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO 8859-15"

Apparently this causes charset problems for others, seems it should be "iso-8859-15" (note the extra dash). However KNode displays my posts fine though, so I didn't notice until others started complaining about me :-).

Manually changing the config file seems to work as a work-around, I've entered this:

[POSTNEWS]
8BitEncoding=true
Charset=iso-8859-15

The configuration originally written by KNode, which caused the problem, was:

[POSTNEWS]
8BitEncoding=true
Charset=ISO 8859-15
Comment 1 Martin Schlander 2008-08-18 23:53:29 UTC
Btw., I'm pretty sure the same problem goes for many of the other encodings. I only actually tested with ISO 8859-1 though, which has the same problem.
Comment 2 Thomas Bigot 2008-11-25 16:20:46 UTC
I confirm, I have the same problem using:
$ kontact --version
Qt: 4.4.3
KDE: 4.1.80 (KDE 4.1.80 (KDE 4.2 Beta1))
Kontact: 1.3

And the workaround works fine.
Comment 3 Thomas Bigot 2008-11-25 16:24:10 UTC
More useful, the version of knode, if needed:

$ knode --version
Qt: 4.4.3
KDE: 4.1.80 (KDE 4.1.80 (KDE 4.2 Beta1))
KNode: 0.99.01
Comment 4 Olivier Trichet 2008-11-26 10:12:23 UTC
Volker,
this issue is worked around in KMail by the method KMMsgBase::fixEncoding().
Would it be possible to share it with KNode somehow ?
Comment 5 Thomas McGuire 2008-11-26 12:37:19 UTC
I'd prefer if someone would fix KCharsets instead, but it has scary lookup tables so I didn't dare to change anything there.

Add hyphen to ISO encodings in KCharset

This patch add hyphen to all ISO-encoding declared in KCharset.

Is it really the place where we want to make the change ? All KDE application will be 
affected and therefore a user defined charset will not be found in the lists returned by the KCharset after this. (ok it's no big deal).

(note : the not so scary lookup tables does not appears in the diff because they do not change, not because I did not take care. :-))

Use a workaround from kmail to address bug 169411: knode sends post with charset "iso xxxx-x" instead of proper "iso-xxxx-x".

Is this fixed in KDE4.2 as well? I'm using beta2 and the problem is present here as well

Is the underlying problem fixed in trunk or should I merge this
workaround there as well?
