I have noticed a problem recently, which I did not have
with SeaMonkey v14.1. With v17.1 and v20 some (most)
accented characters are incorrectly displayed in the
mail component of SeaMonkey. The characters are displayed
correctly if I select "view message body as simple HTML",
though. Only "original HTML" gives problems, but for many
(other) messages simple html is, well, too simplistic
and messes up formatting. The messages I am having problems
with contain French characters and originate from Outlook
but I wouldn't be too quick on blaming it on that source,
since again, the same messages/profile display just fine
(in original html mode) when reverting to SM14
Has anyone noticed something similar, or know of a related
bug already having been logged ?
I see a post by "flyguy" titled Getting strange characters in emails
instead of ' and "
This describes a similar problem. In his case it seems the problematic
messages were using UTF-8 whereas mine are ISO-8859-1, and A.Williams
suggested the bug might be originating from ThunderBird
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594646 )
Quite possibly, but unfortunately I can confirm the problem is
definitely still there in SM20.
I had exactly the same problem as yours.
So i modify "Preferences" - "Mail and Newsgroup" - "Character Encoding"
- "Default Character Encoding"
changing it from "Western (ISO-8859-1)" to "Unicode (UTF-8)".
Thanks for the suggestion but i do not think this would work,
as it seems this preference would affect how future messages will
be composed (and perhaps the default charset when unable to guess)
Anyway I've tried it for completion, and it does not affect how
my "problematic" messages are displayed at all. Again to sump up:
messages are correctly parsed/displayed with SM14, not with later
versions I have been trying (17 and 20)
