Description pa.dohnalek 2008-02-28 16:26:38 UTC
cs: V poli Od (a také Komu) se při importu z G-Mailu odesílatelé s diakritikou ve jméně zobrazují zkomoleně a tuze nepřehledně; několik příkladů:

Vitor Luiz Rigoti dos Anjos <vitorluizpedro@hotmail.com>  (správně)

=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Petr_Adam_DOHN=C1LEK_ <pa.dohnalek@gmail.com>

!!! PLEASE REMOVE OR CHANGE QUICKLY THE E-MAIL ADDRESSES IN MY BUG REPORT. I DID NOT KNOW, THAT IT WILL BE VISIBLE FREE FOR EVERYBODY -- FOR SPAM ROBOTS TOO. 
Comment 2 André Klapper 2008-02-28 20:31:11 UTC
Ahoj,
IT IS NOT VISIBLE FOR SPAM ROBOTS. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PAGE WITHOUT BEING LOGGED IN. Or just log in, go to "Account" and enter a real name.
Diký moc.

(and can you translate the bug report to english for the folks here, please?)
Comment 3 pa.dohnalek 2008-02-28 22:06:54 UTC
TRANSLATION:

After a message transport from G-mail there are many illegible junk non-ascii characters in the "From" and "To" fields. In G-Mail all is displayed correctly. Some examples:

=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Pietr_Adoam_DAHN=C1LEK_ <pia.dahnalek@gmail.com>

(correctly would be: "Pietr Adoam DAHNÁLEK <pia.dahnalek@gmail.com>")

=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Brig=E1dn=EDk_s.r.o._ <infe@brigodauhned.cs>

(correctly "Brigádník s.r.o. <infe@brigodauhned.cs>")


Ad 2: I am sorry, but I really see the addresses also if I am unlogged -- I do not see the my one (of me as sender), but see the addresses in the body of the message. Could somebody remove them?
Comment 4 André Klapper 2008-02-29 06:52:18 UTC
1) This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

2) We cannot easily remove them, that's why bug-buddy says to please review submitted data for private content.

Although I now have the version 2.22.1, there is no change with this problem. In what version it will be solved?
Comment 6 André Klapper 2008-04-21 17:13:30 UTC
deleting the corresponding .ev-summary file should fix it. also see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523259#c17
Comment 7 pa.dohnalek 2008-04-21 17:55:11 UTC
Where can I find the file?
Comment 8 André Klapper 2008-04-21 18:15:51 UTC
ah, i'm sorry, .ev-summary is for POP accounts only.
you need to delete
            ~/.evolution/mail/imap/<account>/folders/INBOX/summary
replacing INBOX with whatever folder it is.

Comment 9 pa.dohnalek 2008-04-22 14:15:19 UTC
I am also sorry, but although I have done it and the mail register was reloaded, there is no change, the diacritics are still the same, incorrect.
Comment 10 André Klapper 2008-05-05 19:47:53 UTC
uhm, thanks for reopening.
i think it was a gmail bug ignoring the RFCs (but not sure).
Comment 11 Milan Crha 2011-03-10 13:03:54 UTC
Works for me with 2.32.x, and the 2.91.91 as well. It might be findable where this got fixed precisely, but I'm not going to hunt bugzilla or git for the change. Just know that 2.91.91 with actual GMail IMAP server implementation decodes these strings properly.

From your samples it seems to me like the ending '=' is missing, because the:
> =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Pietr_Adoam_DAHN=C1LEK_ <eml@ad.r>
should rather be
> =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Pietr_Adoam_DAHN=C1LEK_= <eml@ad.r>

I do not know if it happened during copy&paste from a message source or if GMail server did this almost three years ago, but as I said, message I received from GMail server through IMAP (though not sent by GMail itself) doesn't exhibit this issue and the text is decoded properly.
