Version: 1.7.1 (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs When a user adds a vCard file to a message as an attachment, it is given the same encoding as the rest of the message. (See attached example.) However, KMail should not make this assumption. According to RFC 2426, vCards can have any character encoding, though UTF-8 is preferred; the character set must be specified in the Content-Type MIME header field. vCards produced by KAddressbook are UTF-8 encoded by default. To fix this bug, when a user attaches a vCard, KMail should by default specify the encoding as UTF-8, but allow the user to change this if necessary in the attachment pane.
Created attachment 7890 [details] Message exhibiting described bug
Created attachment 7891 [details] Screenshot of KMail showing improperly displayed vCard Here's a screenshot showing KMail viewing the message in the previous attachment. Note that the vCard attachment is displayed as if it were ISO-8859-15-encoded instead of UTF-8 encoded.
Problem confirmed.
