Title:
Forwarded message with wrong encoding is blank
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
The issue is not exactly a thunderbird bug but probably still of
interest. I was notified that a forwarded message was received empty.
It turned out that the header of the original mail contains a wrong
character encoding (UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1). Since thunderbird
relies on the header info, the displayed message shows ill characters
represented by a question mark. When UTF-8 is being kept upon
forwarding it will be empty. Switching to the proper character set
before forwarding, however, allows a correct transmission.
