Package: evolution
Version: 2.6.3-6etch2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Some mail messages sent from evolution perhaps to multiple e-mail
addreses are delivered with content garbage. There are mail headers
included in mail content and national letters are not shown properly.
Email account configured in Evolution uses evolution-exchange
connector to connect to Exchange server (no other protocol is
available). The bug is also present when using recent version of
Evolution - 2.22.1 (tested on Ubuntu 8.04).
Example of a mail content with garbage delivered (all above is an
e-mail message body, some names has been changed and some parts
replaced with dots):
---
To: * group1 <mail1 at domain.pl>, * group2 <name at domain.pl>, amail
<aname at domain.pl>, ... , aname =?UTF-8?Q?=C5=81ukasz?= - some text
<Lukasz.aname at domain.pl>, ...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-2
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Organization: Company Name
Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2007 09:54:09 +0200
Message-Id: <1184741659.3789.1.camel at localhost>
Mime-Version: 1.0
X-Mailer: Evolution 2.6.3
... zawieraj=B1ca ... zosta=B3a ...

I was unable to reproduce this bug with sending test messages to
different e-mail addresses. The origin e-mail was sent to about 20
e-mail addresses, including two distribution lists. This bug always
exhibits while sending e-mail to the specific e-mail addresses set.
It's hard to say when the bug is exhibitted also since only reciepient
of a message see it (message saved in sent folder of sender looks
always good). Evolution has been set to use ISO-8859-2 character
encoding (but it seems it still uses UTF-8 to encode e-mail account
names).
