email 'convert to task' changes encoding
Last modified: 2006-07-03 21:51:46 UTC
Please describe the problem: There is an encoding problem between the email view and the tasks view. Emails which show fine do not all result in tasks which show fine. Here are the headers: Return-Path: <private> X-Original-To: private Delivered-To: private Received: from mx2.b-one.net (mx2.b-one.net [195.47.247.24]) by mail1.b-one.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 733821008560 for <private>; Tue, 18 Apr 2006 11:14:24 +0200 (CEST) Received: from smtpauth08.mail.atl.earthlink.net (smtpauth08.mail.atl.earthlink.net [209.86.89.68]) by mx2.b-one.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 289471C04BA7 for <private>; Tue, 18 Apr 2006 11:14:19 +0200 (CEST) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=dk20050327; d=earthlink.net; b=AhIvpv+wIhs4fIfycu9vX5NLmMdUGWIA8JRZqETaNdUEgSjlJtpWh2DpBPBhqUnT; h=Received:From:To:Cc:Subject:Date:Message-ID:MIME-Version:Content-Type:X-Priority:X-MSMail-Priority:X-Mailer:Importance:X-MimeOLE:X-ELNK-Trace:X-Originating-IP; Received: from [213.99.58.182] (helo=Tavi) by smtpauth08.mail.atl.earthlink.net with asmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1FVmHg-0002tj-2D; Tue, 18 Apr 2006 05:14:17 -0400 From: Rikki Nitzkin <private> To: private Cc: GSBN@lisits.greenbuilder.com Subject: Rice-Hull and Lime Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2006 11:12:15 +0200 Message-ID: <000201c662c8$5621e140$dd0110ac@Tavi> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0003_01C662D9.19AD2240" X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.6626 Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 X-ELNK-Trace: a92d624337679fa7749e3a62fc837d254d2b10475b571120c7c8300141eeb322c408735976de2c064c29f44aa89573bf350badd9bab72f9c350badd9bab72f9c X-Originating-IP: 213.99.58.182 X-Virus-Scanned: by b-one.net X-Evolution-Source: pop://private/ Steps to reproduce: 1. Choose an email 2. Right click and choose 'convert to task' 3. View the resulting task and check for encoding problems Actual results: For example, the text below: > start quote: Studies 2005: On 12 samples made of non-hydraulic (“cal aérea” in Spanish), cement [clip] They tried different mixes—trying to reduce the weight of the samples, eventually... > end quote becomes > start quote Studies 2005: On 12 samples made from non-hydraulic lime (=93cal a=E9rea=94 in Spanish),= cement [clip] They tried different mixes=97trying to reduce the weight of the samples, eventually ... > end quote There are similar problems with an email containing the scandinavian characters åøæ, which displays fine in the email view and has in the header: Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="0-2034500996-1144391833=:64208" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Expected results: exact same appearance as in the email view Does this happen every time? depends on the email, I have only seen it when converting emails containing non-english latin characters. Other information: let me know if you want more examples.
