I'm having problems with sending emails, but that problem might be on the server and not Jolla.
While testing the mail sending, I noticed there was a familiar looking UTF-8 problem with the 2-line abstract. Nothing serious and I can live with this, but it might be worse with other languages.

Edit 2018-09-18: after discussion with maintainer of messaging framework, the fix has been moved to nemo-qml-plugin-email and accepted. Thanks to @pvuorela for discussions and review. When landing in SFOS, the previous emails will still display wrong encoding, but newly written ones should be ok.
I've found the root issue in nemo-qml-plugin-email. It is using the following code path when building an email:
QMailMessageContentType type;
type.setType("text/plain; charset=UTF-8");
instead of writing:
QMailMessageContentType type;
type.setType("text/plain")
type.addParameter("charset", "UTF-8");
Then, the generation of the preview is failing because the charset is not properly registered and it is falling back on ISO-8859-1.
Currently, I'm proposing a fix in messaging framework to ensure that the syntax used in nemo-qml-plugin-email can work also. Depending on review comment there, I may send a patch to nemo-qml-plugin-email instead to solve the issue there.

Retag: add "encoding".
TeHeR ( 2014-01-03 17:10:53 +0200 )editMaybe a font problem not supporting all utf-8 characters? There is a problem with this utf-8 subject line:
That are 3 special utf-8 characters for the 3 digits '3' '5' '3' in a circle. Wrong symbols will be displayed instead unable to read it.
In another mail the utf-8 heart symbol "E2=99=A5" in the subject could be displayed correctly in the mail list view.
