Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
When trying to compose messages every once in a while (I would say 1 in every 20 messages) it will send an email with completely garbled text, oriental symbols and ASCII fill-in boxes for unknown character codes. I can't quite figure out what triggers it but I've composed quick messages with 3 characters and long emails (2 pages) with attachments that have gone out as this garbled text (see attached screenshot).
For the time being I will resort to composing in HTML to see if it makes a difference but I much rather use the plain text option for its cleanliness and small footprint.
I also looked at the message source and the garbled text is there too.
