question: do you see the text broken before send in the editor or broken in the
received message?

I will try to fix the display problem. But looks like reply/forward is not
officially implemeneted for M5 (see 5493). We also have Ender related bug for
the body
sending.
Marking as M6.

This is what I saw in the view where =C9 supposed to be É.
> abc=C9xyz>>
In above case, the text should be QP decoded. The same kind of problem could
happen if we support HTML (e.g. named entity like É).
I think we need more generic solution for these kind of problems.
Reassigning to ducarroz@netscape.com.

If we think this is fixed lets mark it so, get it on the test radar,
and then re-open if its not..

Forward and Reply of:
1. Latin 1 message body is now working for both Plain Text & HTML Mail.
2. Japanese message body is broken in display and also as a result of
"send":
a. The body is quoted in raw JIS when composer displays it.
b. It seems that the JIS code point is mistakenly interpreted as
"<" of HTML. Thus the body text after this point is not
readable as Japanese. See this example,
("Kore ha Nihongo no meeru desu') below:
$B$3$l$OF|K\8l$N%a!<%k$G$9!#(B (Note "<"�j
The correct sequence is:
$B$3$l$OF|K\8l$N%a!<%k$G$9!#(B
This problem of "<" is already visible in the Composer window.
Naoki, does the lack of Frank's Meta-tag code contribute to these
2 problems or are they independent?
The results for Japanese were obtained for both Plain text and HTML
mail settings.
Since both Latin 1 and Japanese Reply/Forward are M6 International
requirements, I can't mark this "resolved".

** The above results were obtained with the 5/22/99 Win32 build **

Regarding the question by momoi, I think sending is not affected by the META
problem.
Last time I mentioned this quoting problem, I was told this was not in feature
but now it's actually in (see http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/milestones.html).
I checked the code nsComposeAppCore::HackToGetBody (nsComposeAppCore.cpp),
it has mMsgCompFields->SetBody(nsAutoCString(msgBody), NULL);
which only works for Latin1.
I don't know this is a temporary soultion or not (it was when I asked last
time).
Also, if this part is going to changed for the Ender related bug (6672 - M7)
then we need to change the milestone.

It looks like the Latin-1 chars conversion bug is back.Forwarding a message that
was sent as "Inline" or with the option "As attachement" turn all non-ascii
chars into garbage before sending (so it is not a send but i guess a display
problem). Obsereved with 1999072608 windows build.

maybe I'm reading this wrong, but this seems to work for me. Can you verify if
this is still broken.

I don't know how to verify this bug sisnce Reply and Forwarding is broken (bug
#11094). It might be that the reopening of this bug (5498) was a regression and
build problem but i guess Naoki fixed so after i can really verify it i would
say resolution RESOLVED as FIXED would be more appropriate.

I verified this bug with M9candidate 1999-08-24 on Windows and here are the
results:
1.send a message with a string containing non-ascii in the body using Latin1
encoding.
-get message back,select it and click Reply (or Forward);
//note: all high ascii are garbled or the string is truncated before non-ascii
char.
(same is true for Newsgroup Reply or Forward)
2. repeating all of the above steps with UTF8 encoding returns the correft
results (it is true for Newsgroups). So i think we have to clear the resolution
WORKSFORME, i'm reopening this bug

Additional comments: those results are incorrect for Latin1 only on IMAP and
News server. (Latin-1 string are either truncated or garbled in the message
body) The POP protocol doesn't have this problem.

This was observed with 1999-08-24-12 M9 build for Windows. I would say " a
stopper". The only good thing is it is working correctly for POP3 protocol and
with UTF8 encoding on IMAP and News server.

per both msanz and momoi...this will not be a stopper for M9. Puting on M10
radar. marina, you could add text for a Release Note to:

This will be added to M9 Intl Release notes -- which will be done later today. Thanks!
