Add alias for CP28591 character encoding (744 bytes, patch)
2010-05-07 15:12 UTC, Philippe Gauthier 		rejected Details | Review

Description Jonathon Jongsma 2010-01-29 21:00:05 UTC 
I've been seeing this warning on the terminal quite a bit when using evolution-mapi to connect to an exchange server. 

(evolution:15160): camel-WARNING **: Could not open converter for 'CP28591' to 'UTF-8' charset

It seems that CP28591 is basically a windows alias for ISO-8859-1.  I'm not sure whether the proper place to fix this is in iconv or in camel...

If you are using mapi, i guess bug 586093 and bug 608320 should help you.

Add alias for CP28591 character encoding

This patch adds an alias from CP28591 to ISO-8859-1 in order to get the correct character encoding conversion in iconv. This especially helps with MAPI accounts where CP2859x character encoding names are used by Exchange.

Tested with e-d-s 2.28.3.1 from Ubuntu package. Patched against Git HEAD.
Comment 3 Philippe Gauthier 2010-05-07 16:43:26 UTC 
Additional alias mappings may be useful for the rest of the ISO-8859-x series. There seems to be such a list in glib for native Win32 encoding support [1]

At least for me, the proposed patch fixes the problem with "[?]" appearing and large parts of the mail are missing. This is because the mail I receive uses CP28591. I can guess that the same problem occurs with other CP2859x encoding.

Thanks for a bug report (by the way, against which version of evolution & friend?) and the patch, though it's not correct. The correct fix was supposed to go to evolution-mapi, because only that one generates messages with such encoding, and the encoding is just a windows thing, so it should be dealt with in evolution-mapi.

The bug where this was fixed is bug #598564, thus I'm marking this one as a duplicate.
