Hello, I wrote to the clawws-mail mailing list some time ago about problems like in the quoted text below: > Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2015 18:35:58 +0100 > From: =?UTF-8?Q?Sa=C5=A1a_Jani=C5=A1ka?= <gour@atmarama.com> > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: wine: Bad EXE format for... > Message-ID: <1450373758.18611.5.camel@atmarama.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > On =C4=8Cet, 2015-12-17 at 11:30 -0500, The Wanderer wrote: > > > Do you have the i386 architecture enabled, via 'dpkg --add- > > architecture i386'? > > Yes. > > > I have: > >=C2=A0 > > $ dpkg --print-architecture > > amd64 > > $ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures > > i386 > > Same here. > > > $ apt-cache policy wine32 > > $ apt-cache policy wine32 > wine32:i386: > =C2=A0 Installed: (none) > =C2=A0 Candidate: 1.8~rc4-1 > =C2=A0 Version table: > =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A01.8~rc4-1 500 > =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0500 > http://ftp.hr.debian.or= g/debian sid/main i386 Packages They suggested that I ask on the list (debian), does anyone else get this problem, especially with a non-claws-mail non-web-site email client? Does debian-user do anything special to their emails? Thanks, David

I read this list with Gnus via Gmane, and the message you quoted
displays correctly.
> Does debian-user do anything special to their emails?
Not that I'm aware of.
Cheers,

If I look at the message source, I see what you quoted, so it looks as if your claws is displaying ASCII instead of UTF-8. I have 'Options->Character encoding' set to Automatic, maybe you have 7bit ASCII selected. -- Joe

Hi, these two headers tell what's going on: > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" > > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The character set is UTF-8 and the encoding tries to avoid any byte value that is likely to be modified while the mail is on its way. See http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/5_Content-Transfer-Encoding.html 5.1 Quoted-Printable Content-Transfer-Encoding It seems that your mail client (or the one you got a quote from) did not convert the bytes back to UTF-8. Just enter any of the "=XX=XX" sequences into Google. "=C2=A0" is my old friend NBSP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space "Sa=C5=A1a_Jani=C5=A1ka" is "Sasa_Janiska" with haceks on the "s". Your own mail is declared as Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit so that a correct mail client should not translate the "=C2=A0" when displaying it. Mine are sent as Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit but debian-user forwards them as Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I hope it does the necessary conversions. Let's see now. I send it as "8bit" to myself and to the list ... Have a nice day :) Thomas

Hi, test results are in. My own mail came as: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit with the quoted mail address as > "Sa=C5=A1a_Jani=C5=A1ka" is "Sasa_Janiska" with haceks on the "s". The copy from debian-user@lists.debian.org came with Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable and the quoted mail address > "Sa=3DC5=3DA1a_Jani=3DC5=3DA1ka" is "Sasa_Janiska" with haceks on the "s"= I.e. the list mail server converted each "=" to "=3D", except the last My alpine mail client displays both as "Sa=C5=A1a_Jani=C5=A1ka" is "Sasa_Janiska" with haceks on the "s". I.e. it kept the "8bit" text as in the mailbox file and converted the "=3D" in "quoted-printable" back to "=". (This mail must look very confusing on a client which does not convert "quoted-printable" back to 8 bit. If so: convert equalsign+"3"+"D" to equalsign.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
