Wrong encoding for cyrillic

ktur

Greetings,

I've just started using Vivaldi, and I began with importing my Gmail account to Vivaldi Mail. And accidentally, I've noticed that one of my archived letters in Cyrillic is decoded incorrectly. Source encoding seems to be WINDOWS-1251. I've checked and Gmail managed to decode it correctly.

I will be glad to provide any additional info needed about the bug. Thanks to the dev team, in all other respects the browser is really great.

Hello, if Gmail not use a proprietary Google encoding the Vivaldi mail client (M3) should be do this properly.
You can make a bug report with all information, best would be to include the mail with the error.
Right click in the mail and "Save as", it create a .eml file.
Generally developers are not interested in the content of such user files, no idea if this could be a privacy issue for you.

For information on how to report a bug, see this URL: https://vvld.in/how-to-report-bugs
Once that is done, please share the bug number (beginning with VB-).
Add your vivaldi.net username, please.
On the form, you can add your email address. Once submitted, you'll get a confirmation. You can reply to this with any logs or further info.

Cheers, mib
EDIT: I could find some reports with "Cyrillic" but they are not for mail errors.

Thanks mib, I've submitted a bug report with the key VB-112987.

Yes, it seems to be just a usual WINDOWS-1251 encoding problem. Vivaldi itself decodes it correctly if you select "Show Message as Text". But Raw and HTML views are decoding it incorrectly for some reason.
