In View Source, some time zones in Received and Date headers get replaced by HTML entities for Korean hangul; but if I use "save as" they look OK.

This didn't happen yesterday.

I'm going to add attachments of a single email (a test I sent from myself to myself) once as saved as an .eml file and another time as copied-pasted from View Source for comparison.

P.S. For some reason I see this in mail from @skynet.be and @yahoo.co.uk but not from @gmail.com; maybe because the latter uses a negative time zone and the former two use +0200 and +0000 respectively.

Correction to comment #0: it isn't entities, it's the hangul themselves.

The misbehaviour happens wherever there is a plus sign in the headers of an email.

The problem seems to have disappeared on the next day. I'll resolve it WFM if it stays that way, unless someone else gets hit (and says it here).

Problem did not reappear. Anyone sees it again, REOPEN or file it again.
