531403 - No German quotatation marks are shown any longer in the mail

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[gmmail2000-bugzilla]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.64 (Windows NT 5.1; U; de) Presto/2.1.1
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 German

When typing German quotation marks with Alt-0132 „ or Alt-0148 “ they are shown in the email. However when I try to send the email there is a message and these signs are not sent in the email. I made no changes in coding. I was able to send those signs in the email before. 

Reproducible: Always

Can you :
 * write an email and send it containing those signs ?
    * save the send version as .eml and attach it here (using the add an attachment link above)
    * save the received and attached it here too ?

What did you answer to the dialog?
Did Tb send the mail in iso-8859-15 or windows-1252 even though you requested to send in UTF-8?

ISO-8859-1/ISO-8859-15 doesn't have mapping of 0x84/132, 0x94/148 to U+201E, U+201D, although windows-1252 have such mapping.

If you requested not to send in UTF-8 at the dialog when you composed the mail in ISO-8859-15, i.e. you requested to send data for U+201E, U+201D in ISO-8859-15, Tb or OS probably mapped them to 0x22(" in us-ascii) to avoid garbled display and/or wrong binary data in ISO-8859-15 data.

Which build do you mean by "before"?
Patch for Bug 448842 was landed on Tb 2.0.0.x branch and worked with de version or on iso-8859-15?

With Thunderbird Version 2.0.0.14 it was able to send the signs without getting the comment.

I ignored the message (button on the right). I cannot see whether the signs
were mapped.

You wrote next for mail of "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252;".

Did you change default character encoding for mail compisition from windows-1252 to iso-8859-1 or iso-8859-15?

Default is iso-8859-1. It is working now with the right quotation marks.
