[kmail2] [Bug 410138] Strange characters displayed in emails when viewed as html or plain text, when there should be a quote character
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410138 Nick changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|--- |NOT A BUG Status|REOPENED|RESOLVED --- Comment #10 from Nick --- Ok, closed again as not a bug ! hopefully. In Settings->configure kmail->appearance->general there is a setting called override character encoding. This was set to Cyrillic(IBM866). Switching 'override character encoding' to 'auto' now means that 'auto' encoding is retained after kmail is shutdown and restarted. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410138 --- Comment #9 from Nick --- ok, so if you change encoding to auto then reboot the system OR simply exit kmail your encoding will revert back to Cyrillic(IBM866) with the incorrect display of special characters in emails. So it would appear that when I change encoding to auto it doesn't seem to be saved. Is there a setting somewhere that sets default encoding to Cyrillic(IBM866) ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

I just found encoding in kmail has switched back to Cyrillic(IBM866) all on it's own !. I'm the only person who has access to this system. So something is switching encoding from 'auto' to specifically Cyrillic(IBM866). I've rebooted the system so need to investigate whether the switch from auto to Cyrillic(IBM866) occurs after a reboot. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410138 --- Comment #6 from Nick --- In the email header for the above simple email I have Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" So it's like the kmail code that displays the email is using the wrong character encoding to render the text correctly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410138 --- Comment #5 from Nick --- So kmail manages to display the correct character when composing the email but not when viewing the email, however that same email when viewed in gmail displays the copyright symbol correctly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410138 --- Comment #4 from Nick --- Here's another easy way to reproduce the problem by sending yourself an email containing a special character such as the copyright symbol. To insert a special character, from the menu edit->insert special character. select European Latin 1 supplement. Click on the copyright symbol. The copyright symbol correctly appears in your composed email but after you have sent that email to yourself and view it in kmail the copyright symbol is now a й If you view that same email in gmail the copyright symbol is displayed correctly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410138 --- Comment #2 from Nick --- This is not just the incorrect display of quote characters but also the copyright character and I would imagine lots of other non alpha numeric characters. I'm not exactly sure when this bug appeared but I think it might have been after a recent update. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
