Assiging mail/news bugs to jbetak until nhotta is back.

this will have the effect of looking like a regression if we don't get it fixed for N62.
Keywords: nsbranch+, regression
Whiteboard: PDT
ftang: could this be fixed with an additional charset alias for 3DUTF-16? I'll try that today or tomorrow.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
no... the problem is we need to IGNORE "UTF-16" as charset if it come from a source which CANNOT be UTF-16.
>this will have the effect of looking like a regression if we don't get it >fixed for N62. I don't think this IS a regression. Use your N6.1 to look at the same mail. you probably will see the SAME garbage there. It is a regression from their html generator.

Chris, can you read cbs market report with today's build? The mail you attached to this report doesn't show on the thread pane after I downloaded to my local mail folder.
yes, I can read all the cbs market watch mail now.. ;-) I did have one problem. the first time I went looking for all the old messages I did a search | search messages | subject = CBSand got a list of messages in my inbox to check. The first message that I clicked on resulted in a crash with the stack trace listed below. I went back and tried the same steps and could not reproduce.. It seems like I may have hit a random failure. I'd say this bug is fixed unless anyone sees anything interesting in the stack trace below. Incident ID 35972498 Stack Signature MSVCRT.DLL + 0xd16a (0x7800d16a) 3467fcd8 Bug ID Trigger Time 2001-09-27 14:47:21 Email Address chofmann@netscape.com User Comments crashed while trying to open cbsmarket watch mail and test against latest bug fix for showing garbage chars...

ji - can you verify this? You may need to get a subscription to your inbox from cbs marketwatch.
working fine for me on win98 since the fix was checked in.
subscribe to the newsletter at http://cbs.marketwatch.com/login/default.asp?siteid=mktw&dist=memmod if additional eyes are needed.
Subscribed to cbs market watch. Thanks for the info. It works for me as well. Marked it as verified.
