One of the users of roundcube on my server recieved an email where the name in the From header contained foreign characters. When she replied to this email, qmail gave an instant bounce message: ?=@oak.webhost999.com:

Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

I looked at the source for the email she replied to, and the From header looked like this (the email address has been changed and antispamed):

From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Elo=EDsa=20Alvarado?= <test at yahoo dot com>

I hit reply and changed the email within the < and the > to my email address to see what would happen. I recieved the reply, but I also got the same bounce message. When I looked at the source for the message I sent in my sent mail folder, the To header looked like this:

To: =?UTF-8?Q?Elo=C3=83=C2=ADsa=20Alvarado=20<test at yahoo dot com>?=

I have read of people reporting bug with roundcubes encoding, but I haven't heard of a fix, is one underway?

There are two open tickets for something very close to this. One for sending and one for receiving:

#1484166 and #1484205

I'm not aware of any potential fixes for them, though.

I think the question has been recently raised in the forum, it is a small talk between me and another user, I have submitted him a 'patch' maybe you can take a look here: http://roundcubeforum.net/forum/index.php?topic=1090.0

I think it's the same problem.

Does this problem still exist with the latest Trunk version? I once changed the Mail_mime::_encodeHeaders() method to avoid these problems.
