Attachments: Check for characters above 7bit ASCII

Description Kevin Krammer 2006-10-17 15:24:22 UTC 
Just finished some tests with xdg-email and German Umlauts in texts like 
subject

For example:
./xdg-email test@foo.com --subject Überraschung

This generates the following mailto URI:
mailto:test@foo.com?subject=Ã%9Cberraschung

Correct would be
mailto:test@foo.com?subject=%C3%9Cberraschung

Seems the first part (Ã vs. %C3) is not escaped correctly

The transcoding to UTF-8 ny iconv is correct (checked by using QString in a 
C++ program to transcode the word)

Check for characters above 7bit ASCII

The first character of the UTF-8 multibyte sequence seem to be matched by the
regex looking for normal characters.

Checking for out if 7bit ASCII range first (numercial value > 127) seems to fix
the problem.
