Hello all,
I am receiving some Unicode-encoded e-mails which look garbled because
Seamonkey always try to display them with Western encoding in the first
place,
so I always have to manually change the Text Encoding option for every
Unicode e-mail I read.
In the "Text Encoding - Message Display" preferences setting I tried
both the "Default for current locale" and the "Other (including Western
European)"
but none gets what I need (to force opening every e-mail in Unicode
viewing mode).
Can anybody help ? My Seamonkey version is 2.49.4, language UK English
and my OS is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, language US English.
One thing I find, at least using the message pane, is that when moving
from one message to another, sometimes the new message gets opened with
the wrong encoding. Hiding and then showing the message pane (View >
Layout > Message Pane, or tap F8 a couple of times) causes it to be
loaded with the correct encoding. At one time it also affected opening
messages in a separate window, but that might have been fixed now (I
usually use the message pane so not entirely sure). Not sure if this
might be what you're seeing.
I've previously raised bug 1309711, which apparently has the same root
cause as 1287336. As I understand it the suspicion is that there's some
sort of race condition in displaying messages, where the content starts
being rendered before the encoding has been determined, so it gets
rendered using the encoding of the previously displayed message. Or
something like that...
Most emails include headers indicating the encoding. I think the
"Fallback Text Encoding" in the preferences only takes effect if the
encoding is not specified. In this case, I don't think it's using the
fallback encoding, but whatever encoding the last message viewed had.
