Broken encoding in HTML parts with shr

Broken encoding in HTML parts with shr

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi all,

since shr is available, I switched my habit of preferring the plain text
part if there is a HTML alternative.  Unfortunately, the encoding is
broken in the HTML part.

For example, in the HTML part of some mail I have:

  Viele Gr|_e

where in the text part it's correctly

  Viele Grüße

Bye,

I'm not sure I understand.  If the encoding is broken in the HTML part,
there's nothing Gnus can do about that.

No, you got me wrong.  Both parts are declared correctly:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
------=_NextPart_000_0007_01CBACC1.4925F100
Content-Type: text/plain;
	charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

with "Viele Gr=FC=DFe", and

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
------=_NextPart_000_0007_01CBACC1.4925F100
Content-Type: text/html;
	charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

also with "Viele Gr=FC=DFe".

So the encoding is identical, but Gnus displays the mail differently.
And it's not only that mail, but it applies to any HTML mail with
non-ASCII contents.

I'll forward that mail to you privately.
