92330 - mail header has corrupted accented characters

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Eric Hedström]

If I send mail with a From: address of Eric Hedström it shows up in my Sent box
and the recipient's inbox as Eric HedstrÃf¶m. View Source shows it as 
Eric =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Hedstr=C3f=C2=B6m?=

It shows up correctly in the From: widget in the Compose window.

This is trunk build win-32 2001072503, and this bug is new in the last day or two.

I can reproduce this with today's commercial trunk (win32).
Subject header is fine but From header has the problem.

Comment 2

I found that this was caused by the change of bug 82591.
nsMsgHeaderParser calls the converter with a wrong charset. It was working 
before because the string was just duplicated. With that change, the actual data 
is validated and wrong charset is corrected. But that breaks nsMsgHeaderParser.
Bug 82591 was for viewing mail with a wrong charset, but this bug is for sending 
incorrect header. I think the change of bug 82591 has to be backed out for 
0.9.3.
