User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20100927 Firefox/4.0b7pre SeaMonkey/2.1b1pre Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20100927 Firefox/4.0b7pre SeaMonkey/2.1b1pre there is a problem with Greek characters when I see an incoming mail. It appears like the charset isn't correct. I tried to change it from View -> Character Encoding from iso8859-7 to UTF-8 and windows 1253 without any luck. When I send an e-mail to myself ( using seamonkey ) I didn't have any problem reading it. Here there are a part of headers/ email that I believe it will help: From the " bad read " email: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Windows Mail 6.0.6002.18197 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.0.6002.18197 X-EsetScannerBuild: 7679 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_2D01_01CB4072.3713E050 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-7" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Oi allages einai: =CA=E1=E9=ED=EF=FD=F1=E9=EF Template -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the " good " email that I send it to myself: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------060104070804060804080105 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-7; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Ελληνικά! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In stable versions I don't have any problems to read these e-mails.

nas, can you check with html5.enable=false?
thank you for your suggestion Wada, ( ありがと ございます !) , when I set html5.enable = false I could read the Greeks from the e-mail that I couldn't - the one on the screenshot! When I set it back to true , I couldn't. Is that something fixable ?
Philip Chee, regression window of this kind of problem is already apparent in other bug - when html5.enable=true is defaulted, and simple workaround is already known by other bugs - html5.enable=false.

Above Greek chars are written in utf-8 in this bug. If this bug is shown with View/Character Encoding/iso-8859-7, glyph like next is shown and is same as you screen shot. Ξ� Ξ± ΞΉ Ξ½ ΞΏ Ο� Ο� ΞΉ ΞΏ In screen shot, Content-Type: multipart/alternative; is seen. With which View/"Message Body As" did you get the scrren shot? Is there text/html part in the multipart/alternative mail? If yes, does <meta> tag of http-equiv=Content-Type and content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7" exists in HTML source of text/html part?
nas, there is no need to attach mail data any more. Check with attachment 480044 [details] which is attached to bug 598740, please.
Phenomenon/problem depended on View/Message Boy As. As it's still unclear in this bug, tr-open.
