476741 - FROM address shows incorrectly if header is UTF8,hex,2byte and split

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 493544

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Alon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.19 (200812909)

FROM address shows incorrectly if the from header is UTF8 hex encoded of text that uses 2 byte chars, and is split into multiple lines, where A single char is split into two lines (second byte is in the second line). Example:
From: =?utf-8?Q?=D7=9E=D7=A2=D7=A8?=
	=?utf-8?Q?=D7=9B=D7=AA_=D7?=
	=?utf-8?Q?=91=D7=A7=D7=A8=D7?=
	=?utf-8?Q?=94?= <someone@somewhere>
The problem is with the =D7 and then the =91 in the next row, which are actually a single char.
This should be displayed as 2 Hebrew words. The first is 5 letter long, then a space and then a 4 letter long word. It actually displays the first work OK, then a space, and then two weird chars of a diamond with a question mark in it.
Needless to say, the from looks fine in Outlook Express.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
not sure. It depends on the length of the text, the sending application, server, etc.

It has to be;
> From: =?utf-8?Q?=D7=9E=D7=A2=D7=A8?=
>       =?utf-8?Q?=D7=9B=D7=AA_=D7=91?=
>       =?utf-8?Q?=D7=A7=D7=A8=D7=94?= <someone@somewhere>

Closing as DUP of Bug 493544, because there is no need to keep open.
