Description Ali Hadid 2008-06-15 11:06:53 UTC 
In the Current view, under the "From" column, names with atypic encodings or special letters are not displayed correctly, and instead of displaying the name, display "=?EUC-KR?B?sei80sf2PGZ..." and other gibberish is shown.

IMAP or POP?
Comment 2 Ali Hadid 2008-06-15 11:42:26 UTC 
This happens in IMAP, with my gmail account. I don't use POP3. Names are correctly displayed in the header view, but not in the "From" column.
Names used to be displayed correctly, this issue came out of nowhere a little while ago, probably after an automatic update (ubuntu hardy).
Comment 3 Tobias Mueller 2008-06-16 21:58:39 UTC 
Hm. The mails may have been sent from a broken mailer.

Are the emails displayed broken everytime or just in a special view?

Do you mind to provide a stripped version of the email? (like replacing the content with foobar but leaving the subject untouched)

Thanks in advance!

Check the screenshot to get a better idea of the bug.
As you can see, names are displayed incorrectly in the list, but are displayed correctly in the preview.
I guess that as soon as there is a non-ASCII character in the sender name, it displays the corresponding encoding, followed by gibberish.

It happens to all mails, even from different providers (I checked the X-Mailer for different mails, and this bug happens with all of them).

I have been using evolution for a while now and this just appeared recently, so I guessed it must be a bug, as the sender name is displayed correctly in the body of the e-mail. It can't be an gMail issue as even older mails that were downloaded before this bug appeared are displayed incorrectly.

Hope this helps!
