Scalix Forums

Hi,

A mail with umlauts in subject is sent to 2 mailsystems.
in a mbox file it will be displayed as

and the same mail in scalix accessed via imap has

and thunderbird cannot recognize that charset and display only one '?' in subject.

even worse, in SWA the mail will be rendered with the Subject

(composed in SWA, OL or Thunderbird)


further, if a mail composed in thunderbird and sent to scalix with charset ISO-8859-15 instead of ISO-8859-1 all umlauts will be replaced with '*'

the body of all theses mails will be displayed correctly.
concerns old Scalix 9.2.0 - is this fixed on 10.0 ?

I'm slightly surprised that it didn't work in 9.2, but only slightly :-)

There's good news and bad news in Scalix 10. I've just tried these two

on my slightly-post Scalix 10 server and the subjects appear as

respectively once they've made their way through to the IMAP server. Without going into detail as to why that basically means that ISO-8859-1 works and ISO-8859-15 doesn't :-(

There is good news on the horizon though. One of the projects the server team are working on at the moment will fix this particular problem and a whole host of related ones.

Just to mention that the same is true for any other non ISO-8859-1 encoding.
In my situation these are Windows-1251, ISO-8859-5, KOI-8R ...

regarding the "=?ISO-8859-1?Q?" to "=?x-scalix-?Q?" convertion:
this only happens with mails, sent to scalix adresses which deliver to public folders.
to "normal" accounts 8859-1 stays ok.
(and 8859-15 makes "*")

Yes, I have the same proble too. But only in public folders, that receiving emails.
