Hello. I have just installed using Claws Mail version 3.5.0, and the problem described here still happens. I have imported my mail from Thunderbird, and approximately half of messages with Russian subjects have the subject line displayed in the wrong encoding. In the message source, it is evident that those messages had plain 8-bit CP1251 text directly in the "Subject:" header, while those which did display correctly had their Subject header properly encoded.
My "About" window says: GTK+ 2.12.11 / GLib 2.16.6 Locale: en_US.UTF-8 (charset: UTF-8) I have read above that the default encoding is detected from the system's charset, however this is not helpful at all, because while various mailers still generate lots of E-Mail in CP1251 and other legacy encodings, the modern standard for system charset is UTF-8. Having to change system charset to CP1251 just to be able to read these messages is not really an option. With respect, Roman. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
