138293 - Forward: non-ascii header in the message is displayed as single byte chars

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 110729

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[marina]

*** observed with 2002-04-18-03 trunk build ***
Steps to reproduce:
- compose a message with non-ascii chars ( i used Latin-1) in the Subject header;
- forward message as an attachment;
- get message and note that the display of the non-ascii header in the message
body is incorrect. Source of the message points to 1252 encoding instead of
8859-1. At the same time if you forward inline you get a warning for the charset
mismatch, sending as is( without manually setting to Latin-1)is not reflected on
the header display. The display is still fine in the message body. Regression.

cc to putterman, ducarroz, do you know trunk only fix which might cause this?
We need to make sure the problem does not copied to the branch.

I looked at check in to libmime within one week.
There was check in for bug 30888 on 3/16 affected many files.
Marina, could you test 3/16 morning trunk and 3/17 trunk to see if the problem
exist in those builds?

Naoki, i re-installed the build and i don't see the problem now, neither do i
see it in 4/16 and 4/17 builds. However there might be some conditions that were
present yesterday and triggered the problem ( i was testing plaintext
conversion). Let me do some more testing before we solve this as invalid.

I know now what happened: prior to viewing this message i opened a .pdf file(
btw: this pdf attachment didn't get open in Acrobat application but got
displayed inside the message). The problem with non-ascii chars and viewing pdf
file is an old one but i thought it was fixed already, let me find the bug
number. In any event only forward as attachment gets effected.
