Package: bugs.debian.org Severity: normal When you view individual parts of an email which are of type "text/plain" the charset specified in that part's "Content-Type" MIME header is ignored and "iso-8859-1" is always returned in the HTTP response's "Content-Type" header:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2005 23:57:30 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Debian GNU/Linux) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 For an example see the following URL: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=308196;msg=5;att=0 The original email specifies that that part is actually using "UTF-8" as the charset, which you can see in the mbox version of the message: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=308196;msg=5;mbox=yes I imagine what's happening is that the charset specified in the email is simply ignored by the CGI script and Apache is adding a default charset due to the "AddDefaultCharset on" directive in the config file. Please could you fix the CGI script to pass on whatever charset the email specifies for parts of type "text/*" when viewing them on their own?
