Re: [Evolution] Re: [Users] Quoted Printable?

No, it's probably not a bug in the strictest sense.  But if other tools can render it ok and evo can't, then it's still a problem.  

This condition happens to me about once a week and I have to use Netscape to read a particular message.  It makes it difficult to try to convince my peers to switch to evolution if it can't read messages that Netscape, Outlook etc can...  

As for changing to UTF8 or UTF7, that doesn't seem to work for the messages I'm seeing.
