Description Tobias Nissen 2010-03-03 16:54:26 UTC

When replying to certain messages, the non-ASCII chars from the quote of the original message sometimes are mangled. Example message:

http://groups.google.de/group/linux.debian.user.german/msg/1aa6872e40b7916a?dmode=source

I think it has something to do with the fact that FROM and body use a different encoding. Messages where FROM and body are in the same encoding don't seem to be affected.

3.7.4 shows the same behaviour.

I rather think that this message's encoding has been mangled on the way, probably due to 8bit encoding. 

Can you attach a screenshot showing the mail from the From: line to the first "aptitude -V" line, for example ?

Also, can you attach the message source ? I'm not sure the web interface respects the original correctly.

Thanks

The mail that arrived on my server grabbed out of the Maildir (and also in claws-imapcache) has Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit, not quoted-printable and looks exactly like the version in googlegroups.
Nonetheless only on replying non-ASCII chars in header and body get mangled.
The mail was a Reply-To to a quoted-printable mail which seems ok to me.
I'm using the de_DE@euro locale.

I'm using claws 3.7.4 backported to Lenny from Debian/unstable if that matters in this case.

Comment 12 Colin Leroy 2010-03-04 09:20:55 UTC

Thanks. There's indeed a problem.

Comment 13 Colin Leroy 2010-03-04 09:32:34 UTC

After a better look, the problem is indeed in the mail. The iso-8859-1 encoded name is no problem, as you can test by removing the encoded part.

But in the signature, the
