[Kolab-devel] [issue3568] umlauts broken in automatically accepted events

Fri Apr 17 18:08:26 CEST 2009

New submission from Thomas Arendsen Hein <thomas at intevation.de>:

Kolab Server 2.2.1, kontact enterprise35 20090313.938853

An automatic resource (REJECT_IF_CONFLICTS) accepts an event sent by kontact
containing german umlauts in body/summary. When using kontact to look at the
resource's calendar folder, it displays "ä" as "Ã¤", i.e. interprets utf-8 as
latin1.

The mail source in a normal user's calendar contains:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>
 <body>...=C3=A4...
 <summary>...=C3=A4...

The mail source in the resource's calendar contains:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
<?xml version=3D"1.0"?>
  <body>...&#xC3;&#xA4;...
  <summary>...&#xC3;&#xA4;...

(I omitted many lines, but the main differences should be clear)

Just checked with the web client included in server 2.2.1:
It shows the same broken umlauts

Fixing this for 2.2.2 is important unless the changes would be too big.
