SM v1.5.2svn - missing charset in e-mail header causes incorrect display of german umlauts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
I'm using SM v1.5.2svn with utf-8 charset and german de_DE-language
encoding set. Nearly all incoming e-mails are displayed properly as
long as an e-mail header contains a charset entry.
Yesterday I received and e-mail without an explicit charset given
in the header and all german umlauts were not properly displayed.
Instead of the correct characters black squares with a question mark
were shown.
Now I wonder how Squirrelmail tries to find out what character set
is used in an e-mail and if there's a way to fix this problem.
(Thunderbird displays the e-mail without any problem).

These are the relevant lines of that e-mail header:

 MIME-Version: 1.0
 X-Mailer: PHP v 5.2.14
 Content-Type: text/plain
 Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2011 07:54:24 +0000
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

These are the german umlauts in the message body:

 =E4 =3D ae
 =F6 =3D oe
 =FC =3D ue
 =C4 =3D Ae
 =D6 =3D Oe
 =DC =3D Ue
 =DF =3D sz

Regards
Juergen
