I suppose the 'é' in the subject of this letter will cause you problems if you
receive this mail in Mozilla 0.8 Mail/News.
On my system any subject with non-ASCII text will not be interpreted correctly in
Mozilla if the sending mailer places the encoding info for the non-ASCII letters in
the *beginning* of the subject line. (tested with Nisus Email, Magellan 1.7.2 and
Eudora 3.1 for Mac) Sample from Eudora 3.1 for Mac:
Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Er du g=E5tt i dekning??=
While mailers that send out subjects the same way as Mozilla (e.g. Outlook Express,
Netscape 4.7x), that is with the encoding info before each non-ASCII letter [or string
of non-ASCII letters], are interpreted correctly. Sample from OE for Mac:
User-Agent: Outlook Express 5.0 for Macintosh and Mozilla:
Subject: t=?ISO-8859-1?B?+A==?=ys
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; N; PPC; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010215
Subject: Test =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=E6=E5=F8?=
I don't know what the RFC's says about this. But I suppose that Mozilla anyhow should
learn to interpret the "Eudora method" as it seems very common.
