does this render okay in any other mailer? unfortunately since I don't
have my system setup to be able to read korean (not that I could even
if my system *was* setup... ;-)

could you attach a screenshot of what this message *should* look like
and what it looks like in evolution?

according to libc: "Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character"

since we can't convert from the given charset to UTF-8, we leave it as
raw text which is probably why it's appearing as corrupted.

Anyways, I'm tempted to say NOTABUG since the text is clearly NOT
correctly formed ks_c_whatever text. libc says so. :-)

Mozilla Mail renders contents part correctly but header is still
garbled. I've found the recent version of Evolution does not encode
Korean characters in mail header correctly for which I'll file another
bug report.

Evolution fails to render both part of the message, but I suppose it
shouldn't be a major problem since the message itself is already
garbled  in the header.

I investigated this further, I believe the sending agent is at fault.

The body of the message infact, totally rubbish.

It consists of the following parts:

Above is all ok, it is in euc-kr format.  (ks_c* is a stupid ms only
name, that apparently can be changed in the registry?   see

All of these headers contain garbage.  At least, they are not in utf8,
and they are definetly not part of euc-kr.

All of the rest of the content is valid.

So it looks like whatever replied to the message didn't know how to
decode the headers and just put the rubbish in the message of the body
anyway, and sent junk.  Also, the content of the text in the Subject:
line of the actual message is also invalid euc-kr content, so it has
been improperly labelled as euc-kr by the sending agent, even though
it isn't in any way valid !?.  Outlook express, there's a surprise.

BTW jeff, it might be worthwhile getting Ximian to purchase this for
somebody, or something similar.  Although I dont know how important
Ximian thinks this issue is, I think its pretty important.

I am going to close this bug as NOTXIMIAN.  We're given a bunch of
rubbish we can't deal with.  Perhaps we could try to work with the
'good' data more, but i'm not sure how we could do that because
iconv's interfaces are so painful in this case.

closing as above
