Re: [evolution-patches] patch to revert the fix for bug #42170 (fixes bug #46331)

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

I don't agree with this patch.  The problem is the header is invalid
anyway since it's got 8 bit data in it.

Having pango abort and display nothing on bad text is a bigger problem
than a badly displayed, bad text.

I guess something is wrong with the other patch, maybe something is
re-encoding utf8 twice or something, or his locale default is utf8, in
which case it *was* doing the right thing ...  But something needs to be
there to address 42170.
