Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Ubuntu 9.04. evolution 2.26.1-0ubuntu1

I'm using the Exchange connector but I doubt that this affects
Evolution's behaviour.

I received a multi-part HTML email from another user of the same
Exchange server. Despite the HTML part starting with

 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" 
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

it contained the quoted character "=92" which is the windows-1252 code
for a curly quote.

This appeared in Exchange as a "character not available in font" box
containing "0092".

Of course this is clearly Exchange or Outlook's fault for claiming
iso-8859-1 but then using windows-1252 characters. But having said that,
it would seem to be quite easy for Evolution to work around this and
show the expected glyph. The characters in that range are considered to
be control characters in iso-8859-1 and could therefore be automatically
mapped to their corresponding Unicode code points based on the
windows-1252 encoding. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252#Codepage_layout .

Evolution could deal better with characters in windows-1252 but not iso-8859-1
