Comment	> Sorry about that. Should have added more complete information and a > scenario. The scenario is: > > > > User A sends a mail to User B where the subject of the mail includes > national characters, in this case Swedish characters. The encoding > selected before sending the mail is iso-8859-1. > > > > User B opens the mail, selects "Forward Entire Message", and chooses > to send the mail with the original message as an inline attachment. > B also selects iso-8859-1 as the encoding and sends it to User C. > > > > When C opens the mail, the subject is fine but in the "parts" listing > you'll see "Forwarded Message: <original_subject>" where > <original_subject> is the subject but where the UTF-8 characters are > displayed literally for the national characters. > > > > Attached is forwarded_message.jpg which makes it a lot clearer > (<original_subject> is circled in the image). I've also attached the > MIME message. > > > > As you see in the MIME message, the "name" parameter of the > message/rfc822 Content-Type header is marked as being encoded in > us-ascii, but because we are running everything to output UTF-8 the > actual text string set on the name parameter is UTF-8 encoded.
