Re: [evolution-patches] Evolution Can't Handle multipart Messages in Some Locales

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Thanks for this, we know about the problem, but obviously many cases are still incorrect.

But, could you also please create ChangeLog entries for these changes and re-submit the patch though?

Otherwise, the patch looks fine.

I don't think we should need copyright assignment for this work either, since each patch is trivial and isolated (see http://forge.novell.com/modules/xoopsfaq/?cat_id=30)

Thanks,
 Michael
