Subject: Incorrect rendering of accented characters in HTML e-mail (Gnus)
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2020 15:34:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87362mp5md.fsf@pc-117-162.ovh.com> (raw)
Hi,
I posted this on gmane.emacs.gnus.user and gmane.emacs.gnus.general
several days ago, but didn't get any reply. I hope to have some luck
here.
I am having a problem with reading html e-mail in Gnus: accented
characters appear with an incorrect encoding. For instance, "é" (e with
acute accent) will appear as "i".
The funny part comes now. If I edit the article with
gnus-summary-edit-article and just press C-c C-c (that is, I don't do
any edits) the characters are displayed correctly.
So right now, I use this
,----[ emacs-lisp ]
| (defun my/correct-message-encoding-by-dummy-edit ()
| (interactive)
| (progn
| (gnus-summary-select-article-buffer)
| (gnus-summary-edit-article)
| (gnus-article-edit-done)))
|
| (define-key gnus-summary-mode-map (kbd "<f8> <f8>")
| 'my/correct-message-encoding-by-dummy-edit)
`----
to quickly «wash» the articles.
If I use describe-char to inspect the characters, I get this before
«washing»:
,----

| character: i (displayed as i) (codepoint 105, #o151, #x69)

And this after «washing»
,----

| character: é (displayed as é) (codepoint 233, #o351, #xe9)

| v:Viet
| to input: type "C-x 8 RET e9" or "C-x 8 RET LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE"
| buffer code: #xC3 #xA9
| file code: #xC3 #xA9 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
| display: by this font (glyph code)
| ftcrhb:-GOOG-Noto Sans-normal-normal-normal-*-19-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 (#xAB)
|
| Character code properties: customize what to show
| name: LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE
| old-name: LATIN SMALL LETTER E ACUTE
| general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
| decomposition: (101 769) ('e' '́')
|
| There is an overlay here:
| From 442 to 523
| face hl-line
| priority -50
| window #<window 155 on *Article nnmaildir+RSSFeeds:ABlog*>
|
|
| There are text properties here:
| face variable-pitch
`----
The html part of the e-mails contains
,----
| < #part type=text/plain format="flowed" charset="utf-8"
| disposition=inline nofile=yes>
`----
so I guess that the html renderer should pick it up. I have tested shr,
gnus-w3m and w3m and I always get the same result.
I would be grateful if somebody could help me understand what happens.
Thank you.
