Hi,

Some of my incoming email messages from a particular sender  
(trademe.co.nz) get rendered OK in Mozilla Thunderbird but not in my  
Horde 5.1.5 webmail (hosted by openhost.net.nz).  I couldn't see any  
tickets in your system for 'decoding' or 'quoted-printable', and the  
tickets for 'render' looked unrelated.  I'm unfamiliar with the  
subcomponent structure of Horde, but am guessing that IMP is the queue  
to use because '/imp/' occurs in the URL when I view the unrendered  
email source.

The attached screen shot shows some of the email source, and the  
garbled rendering.  I wonder whether this comes from a bad interaction  
between the charset=utf-16 attribute and the quoted-printable  
decoding.  A web search for 3Dutf-16 charset led to this page -  
http://www.novell.com/documentation/datasynchronizer1/resources/datasync12_bugfixlist_mobility_upd3.html - which suggests that Novell may have had a similar  
issue.

I hope this is useful feedback.  Thanks for reading!
