Re: [Evolution] Character representation

It appears ok here.  We have code that checks for this and fixes it up, but it relies on the message having at least some charset set (i.e. iso-8859-1, even when it isn't).

You'd have to compare the raw headers of each message to see why one works and one doesn't.
