[opensuse-kde] Kmail and separate encodinbgs for different folders.
Hello all! I have a minor problem with KMail. I have one sender that is using a different encoding than the rest of my mail. I cant understand which one tho. If i set decoding to Auto, half of the mail is ok. (Swedish characters) But some isn't. If i set it to UTF-8 none is Western-1250 and cp850 yields same result as Auto where can i see what encoding is used? The follow up problem is: Can i set encoding for a separate folder individually? So if i sort these problematic mails into that foder the viewq will see it as they are suposed. Or do i have to run the mail thru some kind of filter to correct it first? -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >

Press "v" to see the plain text of the mail and look for the Content-Type / charset header If that header is not present but the mail contains non ascii characters, I think the mail client from the sender is broken (non compliant). In that case, kmail uses the Fallback-charset as it can not know how the text is encoded. This is only set globally, not per folder.

No, only globally.

That might help, yes. Have a look at http://www.pldaniels.com/altermime/ I think you can then configure a kmail filter, which you can apply manually to feed the selected mail through altermime to add/correct the Content-Type / charset header. -- Best regards/Schöne Grüße Martin () ascii ribbon campaign - against html mail /\ - against microsoft attachments --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
