Evolution Mail and Calendar: If I receive a mail from...
Last modified: 2008-08-14 19:55:32 UTC
If I receive a mail from someone with a german umlaut in his name like - öäü - (and I expect other UTF-8 characters to behave alike) e.g. mail from Mr 12ö34 get's displayed like this: from: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Mr_12=F634_ <whatevertheemailis@test.local> also affected are "to:" (I guess "bcc:") and "Messages". Distribution: Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) Gnome Release: 2.22.1 2008-04-30 (Ubuntu) BugBuddy Version: 2.22.0
local mail, IMAP, gmail? please provide the original message source of that line here, in most cases it's not evolution's fault but a buggy sender.

Sorry, for not providing all the necessary information in the first place. I'm using Gmail/IMAP (it's not really standard IMAP because they're using labels instead of folders). Since this error also occurs when I'm sending an email to myself using Evolution - I would say it's Evolution's "fault" (or Gmail's). You can replicate the error by simply naming your account (Full Name line) testäöÜ?ß or whatever and send a mail to yourself - if not - then it must be google and I was wrong. Note: It seems like the From: To: BCC: fiels have already been fixed.
i asked for the offending line from the *message source*.
Indeed you did. Well... I don't know - but here's the source: [removed] some personal information From [removed]@gmail.com Wed May 7 03:35:20 2008 Return-Path: <[removed]@gmail.com> Received: from ?192.168.[removed]? ( [85.181.[removed]]) by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id [removed].0.2008.05.07.03.35.19 (version=SSLv3 cipher=RC4-MD5); Wed, 07 May 2008 03:35:20 -0700 (PDT) Subject: test To: Mr =?ISO-8859-1?Q?12=F634?= <[removed]@gmail.com> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=-oWKp4sVbEV8BCOf4HOsF" Date: Wed, 07 May 2008 12:35:10 +0200 Message-Id: <[removed].17217.0.camel@[removed]> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Evolution 2.22.1.1 From: Mr =?ISO-8859-1?Q?12=F634?= <[removed]@gmail.com> X-Evolution-Source: imap://[removed]%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/ --=-oWKp4sVbEV8BCOf4HOsF Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit test --=-oWKp4sVbEV8BCOf4HOsF Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 TRANSITIONAL//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=UTF-8"> <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="GtkHTML/3.18.1"> </HEAD> <BODY> test </BODY> </HTML> --=-oWKp4sVbEV8BCOf4HOsF--
The last example displays perfectly fine here as "Mr 12ö34", running Evolution 2.22.3.1. Hence closing as fixed, feel free to complain to Google instead.
The problem still persists with Evolution 2.23.6 I didn't try it with a different email-provider yet, (as I don't have one at the moment) but will do that sometime soon and report back.
Does deleting .evolution/mail/imap/<account>/folders/INBOX/summary (replacing INBOX with whatever folder it is) help?
OK, in fact it's a duplicate of bug 536457. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 536457 ***
