Package: kmail Version: 4:3.5.2-1+b1 Severity: important
Since installing kmail 3.5.2-1+b1, some email recipients have complained that my emails are sometimes inappropriately encoded in iso-8859-6 (arabic). It appears, through trial and error, that the only emails that are inappropriately encoded are replies/forwards from multi-part mime messages. Normally, these messages are ascii/html messages from Outlook. "Set Encoding" in the Kmail dropdown menu is set to "auto". The character sets listed are in alphabetical order and iso-8859-6 is first in the list. My best guess is that the text encoding logic in kmail is not identifying a known character set, then choosing the first one in the list. In the kmail configuration under composer->charset, the charsets include us-ascii, ios-8859-1 and utf-8. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.13 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages kmail depends on: ii kdebase-kio-plugins 4:3.5.2-1 core I/O slaves for KDE ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.2-2+b1 core libraries for all KDE applica ii kdepim-kio-plugins 4:3.5.2-1+b1 KDE pim I/O Slaves ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.7-6 The Network Audio System (NAS).
