Bug thunderbird

Postby ghisirds » Fri 06 Feb, 2009 3:36 pm

It has happened me to save received mail with thunderbird, the email client branded Mozilla, but when I'm saving I don't have a default name and I have to insert manually a new one.

Usually the mail subject is proposed as name of the file but this doesn't happen when in the subject there are not conventional characters.
When this happen I cancel the saving, go back to the mail where i copy the subject and save again pasting the name but all this is very unconfortable!!

For example, if I open one of this mail with a double click in the subject appears a strange space between two words; if i look at the mail from the list instead of the space there is a strange little ball...

I use Vista and Thunderbird 2.0.0.19.

Which do you think is the cause of this problem? A bug?

Others ideas to resolve that save the mail always with the name of the subject even if there are strange characters?

Thank you

Is this a Thunderbird 'bug'? Perhaps, but I think it more likely that a setting needs to be changed.

Does this situation occur because an email was written in a language other than English?
Have you adjusted your character set for that language (Italian?)?

You can experiment by going (in Thunderbird) to: View > Character Encoding.
You may then need to proceed further to: More Encodings > West European > South European.

The "strange little ball" sounds like a 'substitute symbol' for a character that is not in a character set currently active.

Can you give an example? I am Italian, although I do not correspond with anyone in the language.
