charset issue in mail listviews

Description (last modified by damato) (diff)

Czech and Slovak localization of AmigaOS 3.x upto OS3.9 use so called Amiga-E2 encoding. Recently external charset table was created for codesets.library.

Header and mail body are displayed correctly but mail recipient (To), mail sender (From) and subject in mail listviews contains wrong characters. I guess the same problem apply to other non-standard encodings too.

Can you please attach an example email with such an Amiga-E2 encoding in
the mail body, but also in the header? thanks.

Ehm, during extended testing I find out that the problem was - not updated
index file after changing the charset settings in Configuration. (Maybe
there should be some warnins about index rebuild requirement?)

Anyway please check bug report n. 1881825, it is also refering to Amiga E2
(or any other nonstandrad charsets) used with YAM. (There you will also
find attached example email with Amiga-E2 encoding.)

  • Priority changed from undecided to high
  • Status changed from new to accepted
  • Severity changed from major to minor
  • Milestone set to YAM 2.7

Instead of warning the user about the changed charset and thus about having to rescan all indexes, the indexes should be written with UTF-8 so that they are independent of the selected charset.
