Description Ferdinand Gassauer 2004-05-17 19:00:58 UTC 
Version:           1.6.2 (using KDE 3.2.2, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.4-54.5-smp

Hi!
have to set the encoding manually to iso-8859-1 to see the umlaute
Comment 1 Thiago Macieira 2004-06-25 16:56:38 UTC 
Can you be a bit more descriptive? Can you attach one such faulty message?

This shouldn't happen.

massage which is only displayed correctly if I set encoding to iso8859-15
manually

IMHO the encoding detection is somewhat broken in KDE 3.3
see bug 85288
Comment 3 Ferdinand Gassauer 2004-07-20 03:18:07 UTC 
BTW I am running CVS HEAD and have set my language to english.
Comment 4 Thiago Macieira 2004-07-20 03:42:08 UTC 
I can confirm the symptoms.

The message is decoded as UTF-8 (which is my locale, by the way), even though the headers in both MIME sections say:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"

Aside from the charset, the section types are decoded correctly (plain text and HTML).
Comment 5 Ferdinand Gassauer 2004-07-22 20:05:57 UTC 
general HTML-rendering problem if default encoding is not set correctly
had to switch font setting in konqueror to iso-8859-1
