Hello,
As you probably know, for Japanese-language emails contain, there are
three types of character codes
1. ISO-2022-jp
2. UTF-8
3. Shift_JIS
Here, kmail decodes ISO-2022-JP-coded e-mails correctly, but cannot
decode UTF-8-coded e-mails or Shift_JIS coded -e-mails correctly,
and the mail becomes garbled and cannot be read at all.
However, with "kmail --msg e-mail", the source of the e-mails is correctly
displayed.
I have confirmed this with;
1. openSUSE Leap 15.1 -- kmail 18
2. openSUSE Leap 15.4 -- kmail 22
3. openSUE Tumbleweed -- kmail 22
There exits a bug in kmail, I think.
FYI, the original e-mail;
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TOoiJwtD8_GNX-9Nkt93zHt23kJU_0eM/view?usp=share_link
the correct view with the e-mail client:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iYkdD6iLi20uswQpgzjZylk6XQXfKfWs/view?usp=share_link
and, kmail's view in my environment;
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iYkdD6iLi20uswQpgzjZylk6XQXfKfWs/view?usp=share_link
Any idea?
Thanks, in advance.
