Regression: e-mail name displayed without encoding in Thunderbird 3.0

[Jiří Kovalský]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

There is a difference in how attached e-mails are displayed in Thunderbird 2.0 and upcoming version 3.0 if subjects contain some diacritics. The regression in 3.0 displays the e-mail name as text without proper encoding. Please see attached screenshots for comparison.

FYI, this is a follow-up bug after successful verification of already fixed crash (#499603).

For the record it was development build #20091224r4571 of 3.0.

This is valid as I asked the user to report it separately.

@ Jiří Kovalský

Is it still broken on the latest 3.0 daily build?

[Jiří Kovalský (cesilko)]

Thanks Micah. I tested the latest build #hg20100106r4593 and it works good there i.e. Czech characters are displayed correctly! So, I apologise for wasting your time :-( You can close this bug as invalid/worksforme now.
