Cannot judge say whether this is a bug or a feature, but its
definitely not important.
It's definitely a bug, and for me it's definitely important...if I can't
find a way to fix it I will have to switch to another browser.
I guess you mean mail-client :).
Anyway ...
please take a look a message without the greyed text ... then take a
look in view->character encoding ... and see whats selected there.
then go to a message that has the reported symptoms. Take a look at
the view->character encoding.
if both settings differ, try to switch the encoding to see how the
font changes.
If this is your problem you might be able to solve it by setting utf-8
as default for both incoming and outgoing mail in preferences->display->fonts
... and force this encoding for all messages by enabling the switch:
"apply the default encoding to all incoming messages".
Let me know if this helped.
Yes, that helps! The illegible texts are all in UTF-8. When I change
them to latin1 the problem is solved.
Does this mean it's a font issue? The preferences dialog does not allow
you to edit your utf-8 font...
However this doesn't seem to solve things in general; even if I change
my default encoding to latin1, most utf8 messages have the encoding
specified in the header so they still show as utf8 (and if they didn't
I'd still have some rare problems with incorrectly drawn non-ascii
characters).
