           Summary: Wrong encoding used in reply to ISO-8859-1 message
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: evolution
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: mdc at mail.tele.dk

I am danish speaking and writing, so default was set to ISO-8859-1. Works OK for
_new_ mails.

However, when I receive mail from danish users of Outlook (MIME ISO-8859-1),
replies are encoded in ISO-2022-KR!! Funny enough, this charset cannot even be
selected manually.

The ISO-2022-KR charset lacks several needed characters for the danish languge,
so Evolution is almost useless for me. 

I cannot live with people saying "he is using free and open software, so his
replies are unreadable". - So my mail folder were manually moved to Mozilla
Thunderbird, since the Evolution team has not even supplied an export function.
