subject does not display properly

[lenik]

Binary package hint: evolution

e-mail has "Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-2022-jp"" encoding set, and the e-mail body displays properly, however the subject line, which is obviously in the same character set (iso-2022-jp) does not. Subject line contains plain iso-2022-jp encoded text without "=?iso-2022-jp?**********==?=" markers. It might be a good idea to use same encoding for the subject line as for e-mail body, if other encoding is not explicitly specified.

Thanks for the report, this is known upstream you can track it here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509205

This is totally different and absolutely unrelated bug!

If you read carefully you may find out, the bug 509205 is about setting default encoding for the whole e-mail when composing, and the guy just does not like to send japanese e-mail in utf-8 or something.

In my case, the evolution failed to determine the encoding of the subject line when it's not set explicitly, it's not related to japanese or any particular language, it just happened that the affected e-mail was in iso-2022-jp encoding. And my suggestion was to use the same encoding for subject line as for the message body, if none other is specified.
