[Bug 229187] Re: Evolution mailing list does not render accents correctly

 

those are non LTS version and the issue is a small one and not a
regression, we can probably sponsor an update if somebody works on it
but it's not likely to be high enough on the priority list to get worked
by the Desktop Team directly before Oneiric

Title:
  Evolution mailing list does not render accents correctly

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  Fix Released
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “evolution” source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Uploaded to lucid-proposed:
  evolution (2.28.3-0ubuntu10.3) lucid-proposed

  Test case:
  1. install the version from -proposed
  2. in the same or similar layout than described below, try to answer to a mail address with an accent
  3. report here that the accent is correctly displayed in the mail view

  -----------------

  Under Ubuntu Gutsy, evolution 2.12.1, env var LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8

  When creating a mailing list (shift+ctrl+L from the address book) and
  you select a accentuated name from your address book to be included in
  the mailing list, it is not rendered correctly in the contact selector
  not in the mailing list view.

  Instead of displaying  :
  "Sébastien ABEILLE <sebastien.abeille@xxxxxxxxxx>"
  it is displaying :
  "=?ISO-8859-1?Q?S=E9bastien?= ABEILLE <sebastien.abeille@xxxxxxxxxx>"

  Screenshot attached.

  There are no problems to render a accentuated name in a contact entry,
  problem is only with mailing lists.

  I had a look at #146184 which is also a rendering problem in mailing
  list display, but with html special characters, fixed in 2.21.90,
  which I can not test currently.

  Would be nice if someone could try to reproduce it with Hardy see if
  it is still there.
