Hello together,
starting with SeaMonkey 1.16 some E-mails will not be displayed
correctly anymore. That means, the german "Umlaut"s (Ä, Ö, Ü, a, ö,
ü, ß) will be displayed not in the right manner, I see: "geprüft und
für" instead of "geprüft und für".
But however: If I reply the message, the signs will be converted and
displayed correctly. If these e-mails will be sent back again to me,
i see the correct characters...
Any idea what to to?
Some things to look at, not sure yet where the problem lies:
Do all emails containing umlauted letters and ß have the problem, or
only some? Does the problem affect other diacritics as well? For
example, does French école française (französische Schule) have the
problem? I've purposely forced the encoding of my message to Unicode.
If only some messages are affected, check how they are encoded (View |
Character Encoding: see which item on the list has the big blue dot next
to it). The two-character representations you are showing suggest that
two-byte Unicode characters are being misinterpreted as Western, which
has only one byte per character.
If we're on the right track so far, we should also confirm that the
encoding specified by the sender is the same as the encoding used to
display the message. In a problem message, do CTRL-U to reveal the full
headers and look for a line like this:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
or
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
etc.
If the charset setting specifies Unicode (UTF-8), but SeaMonkey is using
Western to display the message, that would explain the garble.
If we're still on the right track, then we have to figure out why SM is
doing this. Under Edit | Preferences | Appearance | Fonts, click the
"Fonts for:" button and choose "Unicode." Are the listed fonts
Unicode-capable?
