Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
Some messages have missing text in bodies. Some messages get sent or received as complete gibberish or as foreign letters. See an attached email that I sent. It looked normal before I hit send but this is what it looks like to my Outlook using colleagues.
I am on Jaunty 9.10 AMD64 and use Evolution (2.28.1) connected to a 2003 exchange server via MAPI.
I also seem to be missing some of the header information, such as cc: info and it is especially prevalent for html messages.
When incoming messages have gibberish or ?'s then I can often change the character encoding to Western European and it usually clarifies it (sometimes not all of it).
I have attached a screenshot of a message I sent to a colleague on the same server (He uses Outlook 2003).
