405908 - Content-Type: is ignored when Subject: is mime-encoded

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Ryugo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ja; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071115 Firefox/2.0.0.10
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.9 (20071031)

When Subject: is mime-encoded, Content-Type: directive is ignored.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
User can not read body.



e.g.
Subject: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCIiMbKEJhZmZpbGVhZBskQiFdGyhCTmV3cxskQiIjJSIlVSUjJWolKCUkJUg5LTlwPnBKcxsoQg==?=
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Shift_JIS"

Subject is ISO-2020-JP encoded, and body is Shift_JIS.
In this case, subject is displayed correctly however body is displayed as ISO-2022-JP, so that user can not read body.

Is the subject correctly mime-encoded? I suspect we're eating the content-type header. What mail client is generating the mime-encoded subject? Thunderbird?
