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. To Reply, visit http://appdb.winehq.org/contact.php?iRecipientId=NNNN&sSubject=Re%3A+tes... (The Umlauts got recoded in the URL).

--- Comment #1 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2009-07-02 11:18:47 --- This UTF-8 issue is really annoying and affects not only PM.
Users may also receive partly garbled e-mails generated from AppDB like follows: [AppDB] Tests results modified "What does not work was changed from 'A-A-Need tA-o start using..."
In other words: anything non-ASCII is damaged. In 2009!

--- Comment #3 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2011-10-17 04:59:49 CDT --- I can't remember any AppDB e-mail recently, however bugzilla/appdb is certainly not clean yet: I received a "Database Compromised" for each system:
From AppDB
To: Jörg Höhle (broken UTF conversion) Jörg Höhle, (correct in the body) We are sorry ...
From Bugzilla
To: Jörg Höhle (correct subject line) J rg H hle, (spaces!?!) We are sorry ...

--- Comment #6 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- No response to my question, and one of the more recent emails I received from the AppDB has umlauts in it, correctly encoded.
I'm marking this WORKSFORME. Reopen if this is still an issue with the AppDB emails.

--- Comment #7 from Ken Sharp imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com --- When it comes through it's very wrong, but if I change the encoding in my e-mail client to Unicode then it's correct (it's automatically set to "Western" apparently).
Could this be due to a misconfigured e-mail client?

--- Comment #8 from Ken Sharp imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com --- “ As with all encodings apart from US-ASCII, when using Unicode text in email, MIME must be used to specify that a Unicode transformation format is being used for the text. ” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_and_email#Unicode_support_in_message_b...
Does this mean it needs to be set server-side? https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1641

--- Comment #9 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- My email client (sylpheed) is set to auto-detect the encoding, and I haven't had any garbled characters in emails from the AppDB.
The header on the AppDB emails I've received say "MIME-Version: 1.0", and according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME that's exactly what it should say to indicate that a message has been MIME-formatted.
