Description

Created attachment 130232 Scrrenshot of Thunderbird subject when running xdg-email --utf8 --subject "Hällö"

Creating a mail with Thunderbird using

xdg-email --subject "Hällö"

or

xdg-email --utf8 --subject "Hällö"

gives a subject of

H%E4ll%F6

(see attached picture).

I would expect the Subject to be "Hällö".

Environment:

  • Thunderbird 38.3.0
  • de_DE.UTF-8 (any other UTF-8 locale should do)

Attachment 130232, "Scrrenshot of Thunderbird subject when running xdg-email --utf8 --subject "Hällö"":
xdg-email-thunderbird

Version: 1.1.0 rc3
