bug #2487: encoding in mails

Submitted by:	Mathieu Roy <yeupou>
Submitted on:	Mon 20 Jun 2005 02:52:48 PM UTC

Category:	Web Frontend	Status:	Fixed
Severity:	4 - Important	Priority:	E - Immediate
Assigned to:	Mathieu Roy <yeupou>	Open/Closed:	Closed
Release:	=< 1.0.7	Planned Release:	1.0.8
Reproducibility:	None	Privacy:	Public

Mon 04 Jul 2005 10:25:04 AM UTC, comment #5: looking more carefully at RFC, it seems that I was mistaken when I said that apparently To and Cc: should not be encoded.	Mathieu Roy <yeupou>
Tue 21 Jun 2005 07:28:29 AM UTC, comment #4: In fact, for the headers To and Cc:, I think the way to go is to decode utf8 and make sure there are only ascii characters within the name (unless we are sure that I was not careful enough while reading the RFC - maybe I did because it's quite probable that many persons set their name in their mail client with some non-ascii characters).	Mathieu Roy <yeupou>
Mon 20 Jun 2005 09:12:40 PM UTC, comment #3: Apart from that, my problem in gnus is fixed. I had font selected that apparently were not ok with utf8 (why is still a mystery to me: it's no like if it was about printing specific characters).	Mathieu Roy <yeupou>
Mon 20 Jun 2005 08:16:12 PM UTC, comment #2: Well, I checked the RFCs and I seemed to me that it is discouraged to encode stuff in To/From fields. Apparently, it is ok only for subject and comments headers. That's why I put no encoding for it (I did initially).	Mathieu Roy <yeupou>
Mon 20 Jun 2005 08:06:28 PM UTC, comment #1: It seems there's another issue now. The To: header gets encoded in UTF-8 as well if there's a name in the distribution list with special characters. At least on my system this displays as an empty To: header. Emails to people with all-ASCII-names are not affected. I noticed this when I sent an email to the ViewArch support request (support #188), which includes a guy named Łukasz. Can anyone confirm this?	Tobias Quathamer <toddy>
Mon 20 Jun 2005 02:52:48 PM UTC, original submission: It must be checked with different mailers (strange with some mailers that are supposed to read utf-8 without trouble). Take a look at bug #2440	Mathieu Roy <yeupou>
