mail encoding

[peterwynne]

We have a weird issue with an irish language client that uses characters like áéíóú.

They have an issue where inbound mail coming in through the proxmox the characters are garbled like this : á, é, í, ó ú

For internal mail this isn't an issue - for outbound mail that doesn't go through the proxmox - also no issues.

They did have this problem for all e-mails - but changing the e-mail encoding in Outlook to Unicode 8 solved it for all issues apart from inbound mail coming in through the proxmox.

Any thoughts?

thanks!

Any thoughts?

Characters in the header (subject) or in the mail body? Is it possible to get such mail (raw format)?

 

[peterwynne]

sorry for the delay - it's only in the subject - the main body is unaffected.

sorry for the delay - it's only in the subject - the main body is unaffected.

And the subject headers are correctly encoded (email header may only contain ascii characters - else you have to use b- or q-encoding).

 

[peterwynne]

yeah - the subjects are encoding fine. When I send the mail directly - bypassing the proxmox I don't get the issue.

Please can you send me such file (or simply post the subject header here), so that I am able to test that.
