** Observed with 5/18/99 Win32 build ** ** The display was not broken with 5/17/99 Win 32 build ** I have messages sent from Messenger 4.6/4.51 and OE5/4 in about 11 languages. The thread pane headers and the view pane headers display correctly but the body of these messages except Latin 1 is not displaying correctly. It does not seem to be using a correct font. The display was working OK with yesterday's build. The problem began with today's build. This is a near complete regression from M6 and prevents us from doing any credible international testing. And of course, we can't ship M6 like this, either.

ftang made a temporary code change disabling Meta tag recognition for 1 day. This, according to ftang, is why Mail display is failing (because the mail code relies on a meta tag as it generates UTF-8 page.) This would also affect browser display for pages with Meta tags. Encoding menu is working, however. Please mark it resolved when the new code is in.

Changed the Product to Browser.

When this is fixed, we'll check on the mail side, teruko & blee, please check on the browser side.

Set this to P1 M6

Fixed and check in

I'm re-opening this bug since ftang's fix has been backed out in Bug 6780. Until Bug 6780 is fixed, we won't see non-ASCII body properly unless the encoding is manually set to UTF-8. I've switched back the Product to MailNews since that's where we feel the primary effect though the problem should also be visible in Browser.

will check in tonight to both branch and tip

will check in to branch and tip tonight.

The following file have been check in files in tip: mozilla/intl/chardet/src/nsMetaCharsetObserver.cpp 1.8 mozilla/layout/html/document/src/nsHTMLDocument.cpp 3.117 mozilla/htmlparser/src/nsParser.cpp 3.95 files in branch: mozilla/intl/chardet/src/nsMetaCharsetObserver.cpp 1.7.4.1 mozilla/layout/html/document/src/nsHTMLDocument.cpp 3.116.4.1 mozilla/htmlparser/src/nsParser.cpp 3.94.4.1

Frank, I looked at the tip build for today (5/25/99 M7 build) and Mail body display is still broken. Naoki, the menu is working if I switch the value to UTF-8 and try Japanese. I thought you said that the menu will not be working as part of Frank's fix.

I don't think there is a branch build (M6) yet today. The last one was from yesterday evening around 5pm.

reassign this to nhotta. There are some problem between the messanger and gecko. Naoki, please take a look at decide weather this is a M6 stoper.

According to Frank, the change was not included to Win32 build. Let's wait for the next build and verify again.

There is display failure for both Message pane header and body for non-UTF-8 non-ASCII message headers and body. This has been attributed to Bug 6890. We have another type of failure reported by Marina today for the 5/26/ M7 build. That is the failure of body for Japanese messages. I saw it happen a few times today (but not very often) where the thread pane and message pane headers displayed OK but not the body. I don't know if this due to Bug 6890 or this bug. For me, this fix is working most of the time, and I'm inclined to mark it verified resolved. We can re-open it or file a new bug if further investigation reveals a new problem related to this one. Mrking it verified fixed for now.

The verification was done on 5/25/99 Win32 M6 build.
