@odysseus90210 Not able to reproduce this issue. Is this happening in the title or the body of the email? If possible, please send me the affected .eml (email in my profile @apparition47)

[odysseus90210]

Body. I’ll try to reproduce and send you the email.

Hi, I purchased your extension today and activated it immediately. Since I'm in Germany, my mails contain a lot of umlauts (äÄöÖüÜß). Mails filtered by MTB now look scrambled because the äöüß look like this: ä - ä, Ä - Ã" ,ö - ö , Ö - Ã-, ü ü, Ü - Ãœ, ß - ß. There must be something wrong with the utf-8 "conversion". After a crash of Mail, your extension won't open even after a restart. If you are interested I can forward some of those mails.

Thanks for your support. And yes, please send one of these affected email .eml files (get it by going to: File > Save As > Raw Message Source > Save) so I can have a look at the encoding. Email in my profile @apparition47. Also sorry to say but I'll be off on vacation for the next two weeks. I'll try to get around to it if you can get me a sample .eml.

Mmh, strange. MTB doesn't open anymore... I had to delete it and reinstall it from the app store

@theorixx I think I have a fix for the encoding issue. Looks like the email was encoded in windows-1252 when MTB assumes UTF-8. See 1.0.9 when it releases.

Here's another email that MTB seems to display incorrectly (all random characters) when it's enabled: AppleSeed_ A new Safari build for macOS Ventura and Monterey is now available.eml.zip

[apparition47]

@blackketter That's on version 1.0.9? Will have a look after I return

[blackketter]

Ah, no, that's on the TestFlight version 9999. My bad, should I open a separate issue?

[luteco-flu]

Same problem with Umlaut characters as well as bullets, etc. However, as soon as I opened the app (Version 1.0.8 (32)) the problem was not there anymore...

If you're having issues, please email me a eml of the problematic email plus the version number of MTB.

[odysseus90210]

This is constantly a problem with your plugin. I’ve sent you a problematic email.

@odysseus90210 @blackketter Thanks for the samples. Should be fixed in 1.0.10 (available soon)

@luteco-flu Please try 1.0.10. If you still see an issue, please provide a .eml for me to look at.

@theorixx This is about the 🧩 puzzle icon not appearing sometimes right? I've opened a separate issue #9 about this. If possible, please report to Apple referencing FB13801609.
