Cannot add some e-mail addresses to "always display..."

[Dominic Amann]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

When an the "from" line of a sender contains international (accented) characters, using the Function "always display images from this sender" only displays up to the first non-accented character, and then the address book page also only inserts those first letters in the e-mail address.

In the same area, it is somehow impossible to add the free New York Times subscription to the address-book in such a way as to have the images always displayed. I have tried manually adding the address, but that still does not work.

Hi Dominic,
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
