Wrong encoding when I forward/reply to Gmail mail

cool, we have moderator on board!

hi tim, this is the built-in mail client we are referring to.

Although I haven't try the web browser, I doubt browser will be the problem if we try it that way.

but anyways, appreciated if you can have someone on the team to investigate and kindly let us know the feedback. I am sure any one of us will be more than happy to help debug and make the operating system a better experience :-) 

Greetings Sam,

For me, this happened on fully english email threads (at least as far as I can tell).  I don't use the web client for gmail (since it is basically unusable on IE, bu that is google's fault).  

Hi,

I also have the same problem. It happens only with my WP 7.5 mail client when I reply to a message with Greek characters in the body. As far as I can say it does not happen when I use only latin ones.
See extract below.
Note that all the messages in the thread become unreadable, not just my last reply).

I can send to the mods the full extract (the above is cut).

I've also had this issue with the encoding occasionally, and have also found that sometimes it just strips all of the formatting out of the email, and sends it as plain text (i.e. without any code snippets in the forwarded email, just without any of the links etc that were previously there).

Yep, the GuFort workaround did the trick! Thanks a million!

Now i have resolved this problem,

You will have error code if your fw email have more than 63 character in title! So, try shorter title and it will be fine :D I already test and it work fine.

Hope this trick help you :)

Hm that may be a point, since my email has a long title (>52, i.e. 60 characters).
Also it is non-English, but it has no attachments. The original title was "Klaus-von-Klitzing-Preis für Herrn Oganian und Frau Lomonosova"

I hope this helps you (i.e. helps you solve it, soon):

Hi all,

 For me it is indeed an issue of the length of the subject. However, when I use Greek the issue happens if the title is more than 25 characters.

So the temp workaround might be with utf-8:

- < 25 characters subject for some languages

- < 63 for English

So, if you use < 25 characters in the subject it should work in all cases (just truncate it manually)

BTW, I noticed now that when the error occurs the subject is autotruncated at the end and the last character is this strange one: Î. See below.

This should keep us going until it is fixed.
And it only happens with my mobile phone (as I have written above), LG WP... with the default google mail client.

See another example below.

Cheers,

Fotis
