Version: 1.7.1 (using KDE 3.3.1, (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-3) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.8.1 I use ISO-8859-15 encoding on my computer. When receiving an HTML message that is encoded in UTF-8, it is properly displayed. But When I save it to a file, and then open it later with "kmail --view", UTF-8 characters are displayed as if they where ISO-8859-15, making accented characters badly rendered.
Do you use imap with enabled "Load Attachments on demand"? If yes - this is fixed in kdepim 3.4. If not, we'll see ;-)
No, my mail accounts are all POP3 ones.
Can you provide an example of the original and the saved mail?
Created attachment 9284 [details] message with UTF-8 encoding not properly rendered with kmail --view In fact, I don't even need to save the file since I use maildir and it's already there in the "cur" directory. viewing it through kmail main window is OK, but viewing it from konqueror by right clicking on it and choosing kmail (starts kmail --view %u) gives a bad rendering of accented characters.
Created attachment 10807 [details] The problematic E-Mail message I'm experiencing similar problems and I think it's the same bug. If it's not, it looks very similar. The attached e-mail was written with KMail itself, using "utf-8" encoding. When I preview this message in the preview window embedded with KMail, it correctly displays the accented chars in both the headers and the message body. The same happens when I open the message from disk using Konqueror. However, when I double-click on the message from KMail to open it in a separate window, the chars at the end of the message body are displayed wrongly. It does *not* happen with the characters in the e-mail header.
I think I have the same / a similar problem on KDE 3.4.1 Messages in utf8 or iso-2022-jp display properly in the message preview pane, but when I open them in a separate window by double-clicking, the text in the window is garbage - basically just interpreting the message source as ascii.
Created attachment 12170 [details] screenshot showing correct and incorrect display of message This image shows a message with some utf8 encoded characters displayed correctly in the preview pane and incorrectly in a message window
Created attachment 12171 [details] The e-mail shown in the screenshot
Same problem here: KDE 3.4.3, Kontact 1.1.2, KMail 1.8.3
Trying with KDE 4.3: kmail --view file:///tmp/kmail-tests/1091826049.3969.KEGEo:2,S Works and shows all characters correctly
