Subject: [jira] [Commented] (MIME4J-228) Quoted-printable text part without
 encoding has broken characters
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Cl=C3=A9ment Denis commented on MIME4J-228:
--------------------------------------

OK, it's clear now why it defaults to us-ascii (the value seemed arbitrary =
at first).

I was a bit confused by this issue, because I thought the quoted-printable =
encoding was charset-independant, but obviously it's not !

I'll open a improvement request.

Thanks.

> The attached message is a multipart message with a single part in a quote=
d printable format, but no specific charcter encoding.
> When no content encoding specified in a body part, the DefaultMessageBuil=
der defaults to us-ascii. But the output of the QuotedPrintableInputStream =
used to decode the text is actually ISO_8859_1 (at least in my environment)=
.
> Quoted printable text should not depend on the encoding of the text, so t=
he text should be fine.
