encoding problem with Chinese emails - sample attached

Description (last modified by thomasb)

When I get an email that's in Chinese, there are 2 problems:

  1. I can't read the subject (jibberish)
  2. I can't read the email (jibberish, changing encoding in browser doesn't help)

If I view the source of the email, I can read the text without any problems in the default UTF-8 encoding.

This problem still exists in the latest beta tarball (0.1.2 beta 2?). I am marking it as major because the primary function of roundcube is the viewing of email, and I cannot read some of my email.

Thanks

Confirming this behaviour even for ordinary mails containing only "regular" umlauts. I will upload a sample as well.

No charset specified in message. RoundCube assumes ISO-8859-1.

This is not a bug, even Thunderbird fails to display the sample message correctly.
