Description Johannes Berg 2008-07-03 10:30:39 UTC 
Evoultion keeps inserting some unicode character into email once a while when you copy/paste or similar, which breaks a lot of receivers:

bit from an email I just sent:
tested it yet though. Note it removes =EF=BB=BFnetif_is_multiqueue(). I thi=

when I meant it to go out as plan ascii without any content-encoding (which was required here for the patch to go through properly)

Comment 1 Johannes Berg 2008-07-03 10:33:58 UTC 
That is, actually, a byte-order mark. I don't know where it comes from, but I'm sure it shouldn't be sent out.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2012-02-13 15:37:58 UTC 
Might be the same as bug 544661, in case this is still an issue.
Comment 3 Johannes Berg 2012-02-13 15:41:33 UTC 
Seems likely, EF BB BF is the UTF-8 encoding of the BOM. Note that I still use 2.30 (due to the unbearable GTK 3 default theme) so I can't say if this is still an issue.
Comment 4 Milan Crha 2013-06-20 16:20:55 UTC 
I suppose this got fixed by bug #533741, thus I mark this as a duplicate of it (it seems, based on the date, that your version of gtkhtml3 didn't contain the fix from the other bug yet).
