Subject line with UTF-8 characters not displayed properly
Last modified: 2009-08-19 12:14:26 UTC
We have an email message with subject line, which is partially UTF-8 encoded using standard MIME. The line is shown by Evolution as plain text instead of being decoded and displayed as UTF-8. Subject: =?UTF-8?B?0KTQsNC60YLRg9GA0LAg0L3QvtC80LXRgCA=?=0320000671 The UTF-8 part is actually some Cyrillic text. The digits after the =? sign are plain text and should be displayed as plain text. The same subject line is handled properly by other email clients (Mozilla Thunderbird and several web mail systems). An attachment shows what is displayed by Evolution. WWell,
Created attachment 120260 [details] Screenshot showing the message Screenshot showing the subject line in question.
Please provide the subject line from the *message source*.
Here is the full message with just some "Received" lines removed and from/to addresses replaced. The attachment also skipped. The message is created and sent by the Perl Mail::Sender module; however, the "Subject:" line is encoded and composed by the web page, not by the Perl module (it gets fed to the Perl module as a string). --- Return-Path: <some-guy@some-company.com> Received: from some-server.some-domain.com ([unix socket]) by other-server.some-domain.com (Cyrus v2.3.9-Stoko-RPM-2.3.9-7) with LMTPA; Thu, 09 Oct 2008 11:54:19 +0300 To: other-guy@some-company.com Subject: =?UTF-8?B?0KTQsNC60YLRg9GA0LAg0L3QvtC80LXRgCA=?=0320000671 Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2008 11:53:09 +0300 X-Mailer: Perl script "invoice_send.asp" using Mail::Sender 0.8.13 by Jenda Krynicky, Czechlands running on wf.itdnet.net (87.118.150.138) under account "apache" Message-ID: <20081009_085309_099590.some-guy@some-company.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary="Message-Boundary-by-Mail-Sender-1223542386" X-Evolution-Source: imap://some-guy%40some-company.com@mail.some-domain.com/ This message is in MIME format.
