125889 - Character Coding forgotten when editting emails in drafts folder

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 110268

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Dennis Kehrig]

My Preferences:
Mail & Newsgroups/Message Composition/Character Coding: Western (ISO-8859-1)

1. Press Ctrl+M to write a new message
2. Choose a string with german umlauts like ü (HTML entity uuml) as subject or 
body
3. Press Ctrl+S to save the message in your drafts folder
4. Go to the drafts folder
5. Double click the mail to edit it (or press Ctrl+E, or use the Message Menu)
6. Send it (soon you may use Ctrl+Enter under Windows ;)

OR

Do step 5 to 6 with any mail that contains umlauts (or probably any foreign 
characters)

You'll get a warning:

"The message you composed contains characters not found in the selected 
Character Coding, so your message may become unreadable after you send or save 
it."

Indeed, it will look strange. But the point is that Mozilla forgot which 
character coding to use. At least mails in the drafts folder are definitly 
composed by Mozilla itself and should therefore be edited with the user's 
default character coding, like new mails are.

Sorry, the problem seems to affect the drafts folder only.
By reselecting the (already correctly selected) character coding in the View
menu the error message can be avoided and the message is formatted correctly.
Doing what the menu click does should fix this problem.
