Details

when I recieve messages with accented character (é, í, ó, etc) in the sender, to
and subject line, this characters are not represented as they ar, but with
sanscrit or other symbols like 翽.
if the character is in the midle of a line, the line doesn´t end

E.g. the subject Mitología Clásica is recieved in the message source as 
Subject: =?UNKNOWN?Q?mitolog=EDa_cl=E1sica?=
but in the Mail Programm is displayed as Subject: 翽

Javier, could you please add more details to this bug report:what build are you
using, what mail server (POP, IMAP) and please attach a problematic message so
that we can rtake a look at it? Thanks.
I think "=?UNKNOWN?Q?" mean the sender do not know the encoding of the charset.
And therefore the receiving client won't know neither.
