Bug ID: 505128
Summary: Wrong charset sent with mails by default.
Classification: Applications
Product: kmail2
Version First 5.24.5
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: composer
Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Wrong charset sent with mail by default.
The HTML part of the mail declares <meta charset=“UTF-8”> in its code, but the
MIME explicitly defines charset=“iso-8859-1”, which overrides the meta tag
Subject headers mix encodings (=?ISO-8859-1?Q? and =?UTF-8?B?), which creates
conflicts with Microsoft serveurs.
Sequences such as =E8 (é in ISO-8859-1) are not decodable in UTF-8, hence the
“�” displayed by the recipient.
Options by default in kmail 2 selects : us-ascii, 8859-1, UTF-8, UTF-8 (locale)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. delete all charset except UTF-8
2 or modify headers with the tool in kmail and set UTF-8 un field filled with
"charset"
OBSERVED RESULT
All mentions to 8859-1 has disappeared in headers
EXPECTED RESULT
Every client can read properly accents (like =E8)
