| Author/Date | incorrect char decoding |
| Pixador 23/12/2003 2:53pm | I got an email which displays like this:
"Finalment ja ho he fet i s? a Fran? des de fa un parell de setmanes" See the "?" symbols? Well, I wanted to know what they were, so I selected "View source". I saw the HTML encoding of the end of the page, but not that line of text. Never mind. I deselected "View source" and magic! Now the email shows correctly! "Finalment ja ho he fet i sóc a França des de fa un parell de setmanes" So, if I open the message by double-clicking on it, it is not correctly displayed. However if I view source and get back to message again, it looks ok. Fortunately I still had it on my POP3 server so I could see how is it built: it's multipart, and the html part seems to be the one being shown in InScribe. Headers for this specific part are: Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Something interesting: those special characters are MIME encoded, they are not html entities: <P>Finalment ja ho he fet i s=F3c a Fran=E7a des de fa un parel= l de setmanes. Pretty weird huh? :) |

Oh just copy the HTML to the clipboard and send it to me as a file. I'll make sure it renders correctly. |
| Pixador 24/12/2003 2:30am | I could not see the whole html code :(
So I removed every message but that one from my folders.mail file, zipped it and sent it to you via email. Thank you very much! |
