Description Dario Sarango 2005-12-18 17:39:46 UTC

Evolution 2.4.2.1 does not display emails correctly IF the following is found:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

All emails that have the above conditions gets rendered as random characters, but the email preview mostly works (bottom lines are gibberish as well).

Default encoding is set to UTF-8, and I have tried UTF-7, Western European, New Western European and Eastern Europian encodings, different gibberish but still gibberish.
