Summary: broken encoding in AppDB PM E-Mails
Product: WineHQ Apps Database
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows 2000
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: appdb-unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: hoehle at users.sourceforge.net
Text entered into AppDB's personal e-mail form at
http://appdb.winehq.org/contact.php?iRecipientId=NNNN
is not transmitted correctly to the recipient, as e.g. Umlauts are broken
somewhere in between.
For instance, ö (o Umlaut) becomes "A?"
This is presumably different from bug #16514, because I don't expect the text
we type into the PM form to transit via a database. Even if it would, my
understanding is that the redesigned AppDB site consistently uses UTF-8 and
"only" broke all old content.
There may be several bugs involved:
1. E-Mail contains "MIME-Version: 1.0" header, but no mention of encoding.
2. The Subject line in the header is not recoded when Umlauts are present (the
RFC-headers must be all ASCII).
A simple test: In the body, -äöüÄÖÜß- becomes
-A$A?A1/4A"A-AoeAY-

(The Umlauts got recoded in the URL).
