1081045 - bugzilla mails support support no non-ASCII

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 714724

(Bugzilla :: Email Notifications, defect)

Description

[bjoern]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 2014092300

Steps to reproduce:

get mails with non-ASCII caracters like "o with dots above" (ö).


Actual results:

the characters are not displayed correctely cause no charset was deined in the mail, so the client (mutt in my case) could only "guess" what that non-ASCII character might be. Guessing charsets is obviously not a good idea though ;-)


Expected results:

the right charset should be given in the mail header and in the mail attachment headers. (e.g. content-type: text/html; charset=utf8).

As bugzilla only has a utf8 or non-utf8 mode, e.g. no other charset can be defined explicitly, we can always set utf8 as charset in mails, as ASCII is a complete subset of UTF-8

Patch to follow...
