Re: [Evolution] 8-bit characters truncate lines

[Larry Ewing <lewing ximian com>]

Evolution 0.8 had several bugs related to the display of 8-bit
characters in mail that have already been fixed,  It is very difficult
to tell if the problems you are seeing are fixed or not.  If you could
either try the snapshots or wait for the 0.9 release then tell us if you
are still having trouble it would be very helpful.

These should be fixed unless something especially broken is happening on
your machine.  Try making sure your locale setting are correct.

This is definitely fixed in CVS.
