Good work and fast response. Thank you Slávek. I am anxiously waiting for an email from
one of my accented correspondents.

Done! Updated tdelibs are available in the repository.
Just to update :)
Hi all,
When reading messages in Kmail sent to me by (2) correspondents using
Thunderbird (v38), the FROM and the TO fields of the messages are not
correctly represented: the French accents in the sender's real name and
in the real names in the recipient list are distorted. For example, René
becomes Renc3a9. This is quite annoying when I want to reply to a list
with many names with French accents.
This problem does not apply to the body of message, where all accents are
ok. I noticed that the problem started on August 30 where i also noticed
the two correspondents upgraded to version 38 of Thunderbird for windoze.
Earlier messages are ok.
I have been using Kmail on my desktop computer for many years without any
problems. It is the current version (1.9.10) supplied by Trinity. I use
Ubuntu Precise with Trinity R 14.0.2.
I tried changing character settings in 'appearance' within Kmail
preferences in various combinations, with utf-8 and iso-8859-1 to no
avail. Is this something that I need to set correctly in Kmail or
something wrong with Tbird? My wife can read those same headings fine on
her laptop using Tbird.
Any ideas?
Marco
I noticed the same problem, but I was not able to identify when it began to
appear. Thank you for your research!
The problem lies in the fact that newer versions of Thunderbird began to
use lowercase letters for hex codes in quotedprintable encoding. Now I will
test the patch for tdelibs, which should correct the problem... Stay tuned
:)
