14621 - Mail send: crash sending a message with Japanese address without setting charset menu

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[nhottanscp]

1)Select a message with an address with Japanese name.
2) Reply to that message.
3) Send, it crashes.

The crash does not happened if the charset is set to "ISO-2022-JP" by charset
menu (because of the bug #3979, the charset always needs to be selected
explicitly).

This is an error handling problem inside the MIME decoder (the charset
conversion fails because the mail charset was not specified correctly). It needs
to change to skip the unconvertable characers.

** Chceked with 2/18/2000 Win32 build **

Currently reply or new mail with JPN addressee names do not crash 
Mozilla even if the send charset is something other than iso-2022-jp.
This hasn't been a problem for a long time,
Marking it verified/fixed.
