Description rom 2008-04-13 17:14:10 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I receive a mail from a person who have special characters ("É" or "é" in the name), and the mail has been sent in iso8859-1, in the table, instead of "Mélanie", it is written "=?ISO-8859-1?Q?M=E9lanie" in "from" column, while it works fine in details panel (see the screenshot, it would be easier to understand).
It works fine in gmail webmail and in thunderbird too.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Someone with a É or é should send you a mail (from gmail)
2. Receive the mail (in your gmail address)
3. 


Actual results:
in "From" column : =?ISO-8859-1?Q?M=E9lanie

Expected results:
in "From" column : Mélanie

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
Here is a part of the header of the mail :

deleting the mbox.ev-summary should fix it, the brokenness of thunderbird has been worked around for evolution 2.22.

mbox.ev-summary? Where?
Comment 4 André Klapper 2008-04-17 10:53:15 UTC 
somewhere in ~/.evolution/local/mail/, replace "mbox" with the name of the folder.
Comment 5 rom 2008-04-22 18:02:17 UTC 
(there is no ~/.evolution/local)

$ ls ~/.evolution/mail/local
Drafts                  Inbox.ev-summary-meta   Outbox.ibex.index.data
Drafts.cmeta            Inbox.ibex.index        Sent

IMAP or POP account?

if IMAP, you need to delete
            ~/.evolution/mail/imap/<account>/folders/INBOX/summary
replacing INBOX with whatever folder it is.
