what exactly do you mean by "turned into a bunch of hieroglyphs"? Are you saying "=?iso-8859-5?Q?=E2=D5=E1=E2?=" is a hieroglyph? or is it a font rendering problem on the receiver's end when rendering the text? =?iso-8859-5?Q?=E2=D5=E1=E2?= is just your text encoded into a 7bit representation for safe transit over the internet. > For example, I put a subject "тест" which is > "test" but in cyrillic and in the source of the message I get > "?iso-8859-5?Q?=E2=D5=E1=E2?=". > > The same thing happens with my name which is also written in cyrillic. > > Did someone had problems with this before me?

The MIME rfcs also suggest clients to try and use the least-common-denominator charset for header encoding, which is why Evolution used iso-8859-5 - it is MUCH more likely that clients will support is-8859-5 over UTF-8. > > Anyone? > > PS You can see the same stuff if you open the source of this message. -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Novell, Inc.
