Description Hooman "Messi" Mesgary 2006-02-26 19:19:31 UTC
Please describe the problem:
In "Select Contacts from Address Book" dialog, when you have a contact with a
non-ASCII name (like Persian names) and you want to add him, the name doesn't
show properly. It encodes the name to MIME encoding format (like "=D9=88=D9=89...").

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a person in your contacts and name him with Persian characters like "هومن
مسگری".
2. Open a new mail message (Ctrl+M).
3. Click on "To:" field to open "Select Contacts from Address Book" dialog.
4. Select that person (with Persian name) from 'Contacts' list and double click
on it to move it to "To:" list.


Actual results:
It shows the name in a MIME encoded format.

Expected results:
It should show the name in its original letters.

Does this happen every time?
Yes!

Other information:
Look at the screenshot (will attach) to find out more.

May be it is a bug of evolution-data-server.
The version of my evolution-data-server is: 1.2.3

marking this bug as a duplicate of bug 324604, i added the same dependency to the persian meta bug.
