Description Charles Muller 2002-03-01 08:25:09 UTC
Description of Problem: No display of characters outside of the basic ASCII
set in English locale.

Even though the Evolution mailer seems to be able to receive and transmit
utf-8 encoded messages, the non-roman characters, including Japanese,
Chinese, Korean, Greek, diacriticalized characters, etc. do not display.
This is a serious shortcoming if one compares Evolution to competitive
mailers such as Outlook, Mozilla, etc.

Of course, if I set the X Windowing locale to Japanese, or Chinese, or
whatever, I can get proper font support for these languages. But this is
something that should also be supported in English locale.

Charles Muller
