Hi @zash1958 ,

you’d have to share such an email to help reproduce the problem. If you don’t want to post it here publicly I would recommend to create a support case for this.

zash1958

@fbartels

No problem, but HOW can I paste or forward such an email completely here?

fbartels

Hi @zash1958 ,

you can configure the following option within kopano-dagent to log messages before delivery:

# Log raw message to a file, please specify a username,
# separate users with a space, or use 'all' to log all
#log_raw_message = no

ps: I have moved your thread from the deskapp subsection to the kopano groupware core subsection.

zash1958

BUT:

the message is already in my postbox and there will be no new one for next time? Does it help to forward it to another account in our Kopano?

fbartels

No, just forwarding won’t help, as the message has already been processed by the dagent and therefore its not good anymore for a reproduction case.

If you have imap enabled for this specific inbox you could also export the eml from webapp. But you need a relatively recent kopano-server so that this will actually spit out the original rfc message.

At first sight looks absolutely normal ???

If the sender does not even know what the fruit his charset is supposed to be (“unknown-8bit” is a name not registered with IANA, too), there is no way KC can answer it either.

Maybe, but all other Clients like Thunderbird, KMail and Evolution have absolutely no problem with it ???

TBird, KMail, Outlook-IMAP and Outlook-ActiveSync are mail clients operating on RFC822/2822/5322 data. WebApp (WA) and Outlook-zarafa6client (OL/Z6) are operating on MAPI data however.

Most Internet email traffic is RFCx22-style, so there is a conversion step when feeding mail into a MAPI system such as KC, or MS Exchange. Because MAPI’s uncanny design does not allow for unknown character sets of bodytext, you have two options:

pretend that “unknown-8bit” means “cp1252”. Or “iso-8859-1”. Or “koi8-r”. Since it is impossible to tell, someone will get gibberish at some point, and it will not be recoverable.
store raw bytes and leave the interpretation to a 3rd-party software. This involves saving raw data as a (MAPI) attachment, or a RFCx22 data stream (or both).

TBird gets passed the RFCx22 data stream, which it then has to parse - and somehow make sense of “unknown-8bit”. It usually just pretends it is ASCII or something, and the user can switch charsets manually until the result makes sense to him.

WA and OLZ6 are MAPI clients and receive the MAPI attachment. Since it is an attachment to them, they don’t do any further parsing by default. IIRC, opening the attachment in Outlook gives you a new sub-window. That should also default to ASCII or something, and the user can again switch charsets manually until the result makes sense to him.
