57086 - Charset overriding for envelope is not working if the msg's header has wrong charset label

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[ji]

This problem is separated from Bug 56685.

If a msg's header has wrong charset label, the envelope is not
displayed correctly even after resetting the view default charset to the proper
charset or selecting proper charset from menu for that particular mail.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Unzip the testing folder to you local folder directory. ( I'll attach the
mail folder later.). The 1st mail in the folder is an iso-2022-JP mail w/o mime
header. the 2nd mail is a big5 mail which has its header incorrectly labeled as
iso-8859-1.
2. Highlight the 1st mail, select View | Character Encoding | Japanese
(ISO-2022-JP) or set the view default charset to ISO-2022-JP from Edit |
Preferences | Mail and Newsgroup | Message Display, you'll see the envelope of
the mail is displayed correctly.
3. Highlight the 2nd mail, do the same thing at step 2 except that the charset
this time should be set to Chinese Traditional (Big5). you'll see the contents
of the mail is correctly displayed, but not the envelope.

ji, please check the current status of this bug.
It seems to be working for Windows.

Just checked 121414-mtrunk linux build. Charset overriding for envelope is
working if the hearder has no charset label at all. But it's still not working
if the header has a wrong charset label.
