Summary: broken encoding in AppDB PM E-Mails Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows 2000 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: hoehle@users.sourceforge.net
Text entered into AppDB's personal e-mail form at http://appdb.winehq.org/contact.php?iRecipientId=NNNN is not transmitted correctly to the recipient, as e.g. Umlauts are broken somewhere in between. For instance, ö (o Umlaut) becomes "A?"
This is presumably different from bug #16514, because I don't expect the text we type into the PM form to transit via a database. Even if it would, my understanding is that the redesigned AppDB site consistently uses UTF-8 and "only" broke all old content.
There may be several bugs involved: 1. E-Mail contains "MIME-Version: 1.0" header, but no mention of encoding. 2. The Subject line in the header is not recoded when Umlauts are present (the RFC-headers must be all ASCII).
A simple test: In the body, -äöüÄÖÜß- becomes -A$A?A1/4A"A-AoeAY- ------------------------------------------------------- The following message was sent to you from JA?rg HA?hle through the Wine AppDB contact form.
