Eureka! We have found the culprit!

It seems to be my Pan newsreader... oh, well, another bug for it >:-)

I'm not convinced - I don't get the problem with other Pan users, though
it could be a combination of Pan and gmane.


I would start thinking about Gmail's webmail.

Pass - I'm thinking about changing email clients, just as soon as I can
figure out how to keep all my email, and, what's causing the encoding
problem.

Yes, I feel your pain. It took me some time to finally get rid of Gmail's
webmail because it was so -how to say it?- so unfriendly with some basic
settings I'd expect for a MUA that I dropped.

It's less worse than all the others, and sub-optimal at best. I don't
have reliable internet - and I've gotten used to having a large
repository of searchable reference material. So I want to keep a local
copy of everything. And because I'm too cheap to download something twice.

I'm dreading leaving Icedove - I have close to 4GB of mail and a
complicated filter and action setup (Tonequilla)


Yep, I still fail to see a clear culprit in all this mess.

I'm starting to think I know what's happening... Your sender string is
different to most other posters in that the character encoding is part
of the From field. I don't know how or where that's happening.

Pan? :-)

No. I'm convinced it's in my setting somewhere. That it only occurs with
your emails doesn't negate my being the only one to experience the issue.
I've try kmail on a Virtualbox machine if I get a chance later - if that
does the same thing I'll try changing my locale settings.


<snipped to save electrons>

Weel, this post displayed my name okay (and this post you replied was
written from Icedove).


<snipped>

"Camaleón" is a nickname. My real name is Elsa (even shorter than the
nick -and no accents on it-).

I've got no excuse, I've seen your email address often enough. Brain was
not involved.

<snipped>
Headers:-
From: =?UTF-8?B?Q2FtYWxlw7Nu?= <emailaddress> Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Grrr! }:-)

All good(-ish). If the same email displays headers in a different mail
client I will have isolated the cause.

P.S. With all this long thread, I hope you don't dream with "black
diamonds"...

Nope - just the usual PHP error codes.
And rabbits. (I really should wash that dratted dog).


Greetings,


Cheers
