99575 - Non-english address book problem?

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Rob Kearey]

Sending an email to a user with a non-western character set (in this case,
Korean), seems to give a malformed mail heard which the MTA chokes on.

Example:

The original message was received at Fri, 14 Sep 2001 17:03:03 +1000
from rkearey.brisbane.redhat.com [172.16.5.96]

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<"=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=3F=3F=3F?=(David">
(reason: 550 <"=?iso-8859-1?q?=3f=3f=3f?=(david"@mail.corp.redhat.com>... User
unknown)
    (expanded from: <"=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=3F=3F=3F?=(David">)
<"Joo)">
(reason: 550 <"joo)"@mail.corp.redhat.com>... User unknown)
    (expanded from: <"Joo)">)

Comment 1

[Ninoschka Baca]

Shirley, do you know who should be assigned this bug?

Rob, have you sent the mail in Korean (switching to Korean encoding by selecting
View | Character Coding before sending)? From your description, it seems you had
a Korean recipient name but sent out in western encoding (iso-8859-1). In this
case, you still should be able to send out mails although the recipient name
won't be displayed correctly after mail is received. And this is the result I
got with 09/17 0.9.4 build.

Ninoschka, after this bug is confirmed, this will be reassigned to i18n team.

Also because of bug # 44313 ( there is no warning for From/To/Organizatin fields
when the charset is different from body or/and headers) it is easy to overlook
it when sending a message.

Comment 5

[Keyser Sose]

Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very
overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps:

1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN)
2) Create a new profile
3) test the bug again

If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response
were quite overloaded here and understaffed.

Comment 6

[Christopher Hoess (gone)]

Comment 7

[Rob Kearey]

This seems to have been fixed so far.

Comment 8

[ji]

Comment 9

Verified as such.
