UTF-8 newsgroups broken in TB 81 beta 2

No, that Server isn't an UTF-8 server.
Unsubscribe from the groups.
Go to the server settings and select Chinese Simplified (GBK)
Then refresh the group list.

Posting to true UTF-8 Groups works for me also.
But posting to newsfan is indeed broken (but: Bug 1389762 Comment 22 !?).

At least on Trunk because of Bug 862292 ```Use UTF-8 for all outgoing email````

Hmm, Test.UTF8.测试1 isn't a UTF-8 encoded newsgroup? Do you have a better server with a "true UTF-8" group? Testing with TB 81 beta 1 and 2 again, both seem to work now. However, something wasn't right in attachment 9173294 [details]. I see it now, when initially adding the server, it got added with "Western" (ISO-8859-1, windows-1252).

Looks like this is invalid, sorry about the noise.

Indeed. To get the name correct, you have to set the default to UTF-8.

Do you have a better server with a "true UTF-8" group?

See Bug 1516774 for an example. But if I remember correct it is read only.

Yes, an old story: Bug 1516774 Comment 1

I assume using quoted-printable (mail.strictly_mime) would be a solution for groups that refuse to handle UTF-8 content, if there are such groups out there.
